Building Documentation

As of July, 2020, the Fuego documentation is currently available in 3 places:

The fuego-docs.pdf file is a legacy file that is several years old. It is only kept around for backwards compatibility. I might be worthwhile to scan it and see if any information is in it that is not in the wiki and migrate it to the wiki.

The fuegotest wiki has the currently-maintained documentation for the project. But there are several issues with this documentation:

  • the wiki used is proprietary and slow
  • the information is not well-organized
  • the information is only available online, as separate pages
    • there is no option to build a single PDF, or use the docs offline
  • there is a mixture of information in the wiki
    • not just documentation, but a crude issues tracker, random technical notes testing information, release information and other data that should not be part of official documentation

The .rst files are intended to be the future documentation source for the project.

building the outdated PDF [edit section]

To build the outdated PDF, cd to fuego/docs, and type
 $ make fuego-docs.pdf

This will use latex to build the file fuego/docs/fuego-docs.pdf

building the RST docs [edit section]

The RST docs can be build in several different formats, including text, html, and pdf. You can type 'make help' to get a list of the possible build targets for this documentation. Output is always directed to a directory under fuego/docs/_build.

Here are some of the most popular targets:

html [edit section]

 $ make html
Documentation will be in fuego/docs/_build/html

The root of the documentation will be in index.html

singlehtml [edit section]

 $ make singlehtml
Documentation will be in fuego/docs/_build/singlehtml

The complete documentation will be in a single file: index.html (with images and other static content in fuego/docs/_build/singlehtml/_static

latexpdf [edit section]

 $ make latexpdf

Documentation will be in fuego/docs/_build/latexpdf/Fuego.pdf
