Previously, only "selected chapters" were shown in left-pane ToC (of Read The Docs theme). These chapters were selected out of order. The rest of chapters were hidden beyond "Documentation Contents" pseudo- chapter. This arguably led only to confusion, as many people probably never tried to open that pseudo-chapter, and those who did, were confused. Such organization is even worse for PDF output, causing chapters go in mix-mashed order. So, instead move to single clean ToC. This will allow readers of HTML to have access to any doc content at their fingertips (and straight before their eyes), and will allow to finally have clean PDF docs. |

MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs, build the docs:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> html
Where <port_name> can be unix, pyboard, wipy or esp8266.
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/<port_name>/html/index.html.
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> latexpdf
but require rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):
apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
