Tarantool documentation source, published at https://www.tarantool.io/doc/.

Prepare for work
First of all, pull the image for building the docs.
.. code-block:: bash
docker pull tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3
Next, initialize a Makefile for your OS:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "cmake ."
Update submodules and generate documentation sources from code
A big part of documentation sources comes from several other projects, connected as Git submodules. To include their latest contents in the docs, run these two steps.
Update the submodules:
.. code-block:: bash
git submodule update --init
git fetch --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --remote --checkout
This will initialize Git submodules and update them to the top of the stable branch in each repository.
git submodule update
can sometimes fail, for example,
when you have changes in submodules' files.
You can reinitialize submodules to fix the problem.
Caution: all untracked changes in submodules will be lost!
.. code-block:: bash
git submodule deinit -f .
git submodule update --init
Note that there's an option to update submodule repositories with a make
command.
However, it's intended for use in a CI environment and not on a local machine.
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make pull-modules"
Build the submodules content:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make build-modules"
This command will do two things:
./doc/
directory.If you're editing submodules locally, repeat this step to view the updated results.
Now you're ready to build and preview the documentation locally.
Build and run the documentation on your machine
When editing the documentation, you can set up a live-reload server.
It will build your documentation and serve it on `127.0.0.1:8000 <http://127.0.0.1:8000>`_.
Every time you make changes in the source files, it will rebuild the docs
and refresh the browser page.
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make autobuild"
First build will take some time.
When it's done, open `127.0.0.1:8000 <http://127.0.0.1:8000>`_ in the browser.
Now when you make changes, they will be rebuilt in a few seconds,
and the browser tab with preview will reload automatically.
You can also build the docs manually with ``make html``,
and then serve them using python3 built-in server:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make html"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make html-ru"
python3 -m http.server --directory output/html
or python2 built-in server:
.. code-block:: bash
cd output/html
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
then go to `localhost:8000 <http://localhost:8000>`_ in your browser.
There are other commands which can run
in the ``tarantool/doc-builder`` container:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make html"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make html-ru"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make singlehtml"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make singlehtml-ru"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make pdf"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make pdf-ru"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make json"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make json-ru"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make epub"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make epub-ru"
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make update-po"
Linkcheck
---------
There's a specific build mode which checks internal and external links instead of producing a document.
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make linkcheck"
If you need to save the linkcheck's report in a file, you can use the following trick:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make linkcheck" 2>&1 | tee linkcheck.log
Here ``2>&1`` redirects the ``stderr`` output to ``stdout``, and then ``tee`` both
shows in on screen and writes to a file.
Vale
----
Tarantool documentation uses the Vale linter for checking grammar, style, and word usage.
Its configuration is placed in the ``vale.ini`` file located in the root project directory.
To enable RST support in Vale, you need to install Sphinx.
Then, you can enable Vale integration in your IDE, for example:
* `VS Code <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ChrisChinchilla.vale-vscode>`_
* `IntelliJ-based IDEs <https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16136-grazie-professional/docs/project-style-guides.html#vanilla-vale>`_
Localization
------------
Terms:
* **translation unit** (TU) is an atomic piece of text which can be translated.
A paragraph, a list item, a heading, image's alt-text and so on.
* **translation source files** are the files with translation units in English only.
They're located in ``locale/en``.
* **translation files** are the files which match original text to
translated text. They're located in ``locale/ru``.
To update the translation files, run the `make update-po` task:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc tarantool/doc-builder:fat-4.3 sh -c "make update-po"
Translate the strings in the updated files and then commit the changes.
How to contribute
-----------------
To contribute to documentation, use the
`REST <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html>`_
format for drafting and submit your updates as a
`pull request <https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request>`_
via GitHub.
To comply with the writing and formatting style, use the
`guidelines <https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/contributing/docs/>`_
provided in the documentation, common sense and existing documents.
Notes:
* If you suggest creating a new documentation section (a whole new
page), it has to be saved to the relevant section at GitHub.
* If you want to contribute to localizing this documentation (for example, into
Russian), add your translation strings to ``.po`` files stored in the
corresponding locale directory (for example, ``/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/``
for Russian). See more about localizing with Sphinx at
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/intl.html.
