Building
Getting the repo
If you are contributing to the repository, make sure to fork this repo, and then clone your own fork. You will need to do this to make creating pull requests easier.
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/terra-docsBuild locally with Docker
Using Docker is easier than configuring your local machine to build sphinx:
First, build the local Docker container:
make docker-make
Then you're ready to build the site:
make docker-build
You can view the site in your browser by navigating to index.html located in <PATH_TO_CLONED_REPO>/_build/html/index.html.
Make sure to run make docker-build each time you save your changes to view them live.
Alternatively, you can auto-rebuild the site and refresh the browser by using the following instead of make docker-build :
make docker-watch
Creating pages
Pages can be written in markdown .md or restructured text .rst
Add new pages to the /docs/ folder. Link pages to the navigation by inputting their relative filepath in the toctree located in index.md. Second-level pages can be made by adding a toctree to a parent file.
Markdown example:
To link a top-level page, insert a toctree and filepath into index.md:
```{toctree}
:hidden:
/docs/top-level-page
/docs/other-top-level-page
```
This will list top-level-page in the navigation.
To link a second-level page, add a filename's relative path to the toctree in the parent file.
In top-level-page.md, input the following toctree
```{toctree}
:hidden:
/docs/second-level-page
```
These two examples together will create the following navigation:
Top level page
- Second level page
Other top level page
Links
All links written in markdown are relative. Full URLs will render as external filepaths.
Admonitions (note and warning boxes)
Admonitions are made in markdown with the following syntax:
:::{warning}
This is the body of my warning admonition.
:::
Custom admonition syntax:
:::{admonition} This is my custom admonition title
:class: warning
This is the body of my admonition
