scala-sbt.org

This project is the source for scala-sbt.org. It generates the contents of the site in sbt/sbt.github.com for delivery via GitHub Pages.

See contributors for the list of documentation contributors.

scala-sbt.org is powered by:

Pamflet, a Scala-based documentation engine written by @n8han (and some contributions from @eed3si9n) generates the sbt 0.13/1.x documentation.
Pandoc 2.3.1, to generate pdf files.

The site generation is driven by sbt-site and sbt-ghpages.

Attention plugin authors

The source for Community plugins page is at src/reference/01-General-Info/02-Community-Plugins.md. Add your plugin to this page and send us a pull request if your plugin is not already on it.

Setup

Full setup

The PDF generation is optional, and requires the following additional steps to install TeX Live and Pandoc.

On Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install pandoc latex-cjk-all texlive-full

On Mac

These steps are derived from Haruhiko Okumura's instructions at [TeX Live/Mac](https://texwiki.texjp.org/?TeX%20Live%2FMac#bcb0d462 (in Japanese).

install MacTEX, either via downloaded pkg or homebrew mactex formulae
update TeX Live package manager with sudo tlmgr update --self --all (this may take a while)
brew install pandoc

Usage

To make the site locally, from sbt shell:

> makeSite

Then open target/site/index.html.

To push site, from sbt shell:

> ghpagesPushSite

Beware that sbt-ghpages interacts badly if your home directory is a git repository: sbt/sbt-ghpages#25

Releasing new sbt

Make sure you enable pdf generation: sbt -Dsbt.website.generate_pdf
Update sbt.version in project/build.properties
Update targetSbtFullVersion in project/Docs.scala
Update sbtVersion, windowsBuild and sbtVersionForScalaDoc in src/reference/template.properties

Dollar sign

Pamflet uses dollar sign ($) as the template variable character. So if you use it in the document, use need to escape it with backslash: \$.

Here's how to check for unescaped dollar signs.

$ brew install ripgrep
$ rg '^([^\$]*)[^\\]\$([^\$]*)$' -g '*.md' src

src/reference/02-DetailTopics/03-Dependency-Management/04-Proxy-Repositories.md

Including code examples

To include a validated code examples, create a scripted test under src/sbt-test, and in the markdown include as:

// This includes the entire file as Scala code snippet
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) {}

or

// This includes snippet between a line containing #example another line with #example
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example }

or

// This specifies syntax highlight
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example type=text }
