Adafruit's CircuitPython Documentation
=========================
The latest documentation can be found at:
http://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the whole tree:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/tree/main
Building the documentation locally
----------------------------------
If you're making changes to the documentation, you should build the
documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install the necessary packages, preferably in a virtualenv, in `circuitpython/`:
pip install -r requirements-doc.txt
In `circuitpython/`, build the docs:
make html
You'll find the index page at `_build/html/index.html`.
### More flexibility
Running `make` by itself will list out the multiple doc generating commands available.
All commands will, by default, run with `-E` (forces a rebuild from scratch of docs) and `-v` (verbosity level 1). This can be customized as desired:
# will turn OFF the force rebuild
make html FORCE=
# will turn OFF the verbosity
make html VERBOSE=
# will turn OFF the force rebuild and make it doubly verbose when running
make html FORCE= VERBOSE="-v -v"
You can also pass other options to sphinx by using `SPHINXOPTS`.
make html SPHINXOPTS="-T"
For more flexibility and customization, take a look at the Makefile for all variables you can pass in and overwrite.
