The keyword "af" has been deprecated for some time and "alt" should be used instead (but "af" still works). Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org> |

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 html
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/html/index.html.
Having readthedocs.org build the documentation
If you would like to have docs for forks/branches hosted on GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket an alternative to building the docs locally is to sign up for a free https://readthedocs.org account. The rough steps to follow are:
- sign-up for an account, unless you already have one
- in your account settings: add GitHub as a connected service (assuming you have forked this repo on github)
- in your account projects: import your forked/cloned micropython repository into readthedocs
- in the project's versions: add the branches you are developing on or for which you'd like readthedocs to auto-generate docs whenever you push a change
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make 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
