Paul Sokolovsky 91031b60dc docs/conf.py: Active sphinx_selective_exclude extensions.
For modindex_exclude extension, per-port module excludes are also added.
With these changes, it's possible to generate docs for a particular port
devoid of any superfluous and unrelated content, including in indexes and
full-text search - with small caveat: when generating PDF docs after HTML,
or vice-versa cached internal doctree representation (build/*/doctrees/)
must be removed first.

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 Debiab/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):

apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
