This directory contains the Sphinx documentation for libmaple, as well
as a Doxygen configuration file; we turn Doxygen XML output into
Sphinx documentation. You can generate HTML documentation using the
Makefile if you have make, or using make.bat from Windows.
You need a recent-ish version of doxygen in your PATH:
http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc
For the Doxygen-to-Sphinx bridge, we rely on a project called Breathe,
by Michael Jones. You must clone the breathe repository and set an
environment variable BREATHE_HOME to be able to build the
documentation. Something like this on bash:
$ git clone http://github.com/michaeljones/breathe.git
$ export BREATHE_HOME /path/to/breathe/repo/
You can now build the HTML docs with (on Unix):
$ sudo easy_install -U Sphinx
$ make html
Which will produce Doxygen documentation in doxygen/xml, and HTML
documentation (this is what you want to look at) in build/html.
All of the documentation itself lives in source/. The directory
source/_static is for static content like style sheets;
source/_templates contains Sphinx templates (or, it would if we had
any).
The docs are written in reStructuredText (reST); it's a Python thing
that they use to produce the docs at python.org (which are beautiful,
if you've never seen them). You can read more about Sphinx here:
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/tutorial.html
Specific information on documenting C and C++ is available here:
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/domains.html
You can view the reST source for any generated page of documentation
by clicking the "Show Source" link in the sidebar.
The file source/conf.py is the Sphinx configuration file; you can go
read it for more information about our setup.
