This repository is automatically built by the ROS build farm and its output is hosted here: http://docs.ros.org/kinetic/api/moveit_tutorials/html/
The tutorials use the reStructuredText format commonly used in the Sphinx "Python Documentation Generator". This unfortunately differs from the common Markdown format.
The indigo-devel branch should be considered for the most part "frozen" for historical reasons, and new changes to tutorials should be in the kinetic-devel branch.
If you want to test the tutorials by generating the html pages locally on your machine, install rosdoc_lite:
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosdoc-lite
and run in the root of the package:
rosdoc_lite -o build .
Then open LOCAL_PACKAGE_PATH/build/html/index.html in your web browser.
For deploying documentation changes to the web, Section 3 of rosdoc_lite wiki says that "rosdoc_lite is automatically run for packages in repositories that have rosinstall files listed in the rosdistro repository." This is done about once every 24 hours, overnight.
These tutorials use the same style guidelines as the MoveIt! project. When modifying or adding to these tutorials, it is required that code is auto formatted using clang-format.
