The documentation templates are available in `doc/docs/templates/`, you should copy the relevant templates to your /docs/ directory in your repository. For instance if you want to document release-notes, then your steps shall be as follows: .. code-block:: bash git clone ssh://@gerrit.onap.org:29418/doc cp -p doc/docs/templates/release-notes /docs/release-notes/ You should then add the relevant information to the template that will explain the documentation. When you are done writing, you can commit the documentation to the your project repository. .. code-block:: bash git add . git commit --signoff --all git review In the ONAP doc Repository -------------------------- To import project documents from project repositories, we use git submodules. Each ONAP project providing documentation, other than the doc project, is loaded under `doc/docs/submodules/` when needed for validating or publishing documentation. To describe the relationship between content files we use the `Sphinx toctree directive`. The following diagram illustrates: - all ONAP gerrit project repositories, - the doc project repository including a main index.rst, - other master document directories and/or RST files that may be created to organize sections and documents, - the submodules directory where other repositories and directories/files may be referenced, - the templates directory with one example, a release-notes template, and - another project repository `appc` that provides documentation source by copying and filling in an instance of the release-notes template. .. graphviz:: digraph docstructure { size="8,12"; node [fontname = "helvetica"]; // Align gerrit repos and docs directories {rank=same doc aaf aai appc repoelipse vnfsdk vvp} {rank=same releasenotestemplate localappcdocs } //Show submodule linkage to docs directory submodules -> localappcdocs [style=dotted]; //Illustrate Gerrit Repos and provide URL/Link for complete repo list gerrit [label="gerrit.onap.org/r", href="https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/" ]; gerrit -> doc; gerrit -> aaf; gerrit -> aai; gerrit -> appc; gerrit -> repoelipse; repoelipse [label=". . . ."]; gerrit -> vnfsdk; gerrit -> vvp; //Show example of local appc instance release notes appc -> localappcdocs; localappcdocs [label="docs"]; localappcdocs -> releasenotesinstance; releasenotesinstance [label="release-notes"]; releasenotesinstance -> relnoteindexinstance; relnoteindexinstance [label="index.rst", shape=box]; releasenotesinstance -> relnoteotherinstance; relnoteotherinstance [label="... other sections", shape=box]; //Show detail structure of a portion of doc/docs _images _static _templates multiple master documents omitted doc -> docs; docs -> confpy; confpy [label="conf.py",shape=box]; docs -> toplevelindex; toplevelindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; docs -> release; docs -> rsttemplates; rsttemplates [label="templates"]; docs -> indexdirelipse; indexdirelipse [label="...other\ndocuments"]; docs -> submodules //Example Release notes document release -> releasenotes; releasenotes [label="release-notes"]; releasenotes -> lowerlevelindex; lowerlevelindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; //Example release-notes template rsttemplates -> releasenotestemplate; releasenotestemplate [label="release-notes"]; releasenotestemplate -> relnoteindex; relnoteindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; releasenotestemplate -> relnoteother; relnoteother [label="... other sections", shape=box]; } In the toctree ++++++++++++++ To include your project specific documentation in the composite documentation, first identify where your project documentation should be included. Say your project provides release-notes and should be referenced in the `doc/docs/release/release-notes/index.rst toctree`, then: .. code-block:: bash git clone ssh://@gerrit.onap.org:29418/doc vim doc/docs/release/release-notes/index.rst This opens the text editor. Identify where you want to add your release notes. If your release notes are to be added to the toctree, simply include the path to it, example: .. code-block:: bash .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 ../../submodules//docs/release-notes/index When finished, you can request a commit to the doc project repository. Be sure to add the project leader of the docs project as a reviewr of the change you just pushed in gerrit. .. code-block:: bash git add . git commit --signoff --all git review As a Hyperlink ++++++++++++++ It's pretty common to want to reference another location in the ONAP documentation and it's pretty easy to do with reStructuredText. This is a quick primer, more information is in the `Sphinx section on Cross-referencing arbitrary locations `_. Within a single document, you can reference another section simply by:: This is a reference to `The title of a section`_ Assuming that somewhere else in the same file there a is a section title something like:: The title of a section ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's typically better to use ``:ref:`` syntax and labels to provide links as they work across files and are resilient to sections being renamed. First, you need to create a label something like:: .. _a-label: The title of a section ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. note:: The underscore (_) before the label is required. Then you can reference the section anywhere by simply doing:: This is a reference to :ref:`a-label` or:: This is a reference to :ref:`a section I really liked ` .. note:: When using ``:ref:``-style links, you don't need a trailing underscore (_). Because the labels have to be unique, it usually makes sense to prefix the labels with the project name to help share the label space, e.g., ``sfc-user-guide`` instead of just ``user-guide``. 'doc8' Validation ----------------- It is recommended that all rst content is validated by `doc8 `_ standards. To validate your rst files using doc8, install doc8. .. code-block:: bash sudo pip install doc8 doc8 can now be used to check the rst files. Execute as, .. code-block:: bash doc8 --ignore D000,D001 Testing: Build Documentation Locally ------------------------------------ Composite DOC documentation +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To build the whole documentation under doc/, follow these steps: Install virtual environment. .. code-block:: bash sudo pip install virtualenv cd /local/repo/path/to/project Download the DOC repository. .. code-block:: bash git clone http://gerrit.onap.org/r/doc Change directory to docs & install requirements. .. code-block:: bash cd doc sudo pip install -r etc/requirements.txt Update submodules, build documentation using tox & then open using any browser. .. code-block:: bash cd doc git submodule update --init tox -edocs firefox docs/_build/html/index.html .. note:: Make sure to run `tox -edocs` and not just `tox`. Individual project documentation ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To test how the documentation renders in HTML, follow these steps: Install virtual environment. .. code-block:: bash sudo pip install virtualenv cd /local/repo/path/to/project Download the doc repository. .. code-block:: bash git clone http://gerrit.onap.org/r/doc Change directory to doc & install requirements. .. code-block:: bash cd doc sudo pip install -r etc/requirements.txt Move the conf.py file to your project folder where RST files have been kept: .. code-block:: bash mv doc/docs/conf.py / Move the static files to your project folder: .. code-block:: bash mv docs/_static/ / Build the documentation from within your project folder: .. code-block:: bash sphinx-build -b html Your documentation shall be built as HTML inside the specified output folder directory. .. note:: Be sure to remove the `conf.py`, the static/ files and the output folder from the `/docs/`. This is for testing only. Only commit the rst files and related content. Adding your project repository as a submodule --------------------------------------------- Clone the doc repository and add your submodule using the commands below and where $reponame is your repository name. .. code-block:: bash cd docs/submodules/ git submodule git https://gerrit.onap.org/r/$reponame git submodule init $reponame/ git submodule update $reponame/ git add . git review
