This README gives an overview of how to build and contribute to the documentation of Gearpump.
The documentation is included with the source of Gearpump in order to ensure that you always have docs corresponding to your checked out version.
You need to install ruby and ruby-dev first. On Ubuntu, you ca run command like this:
sudo apt-get install ruby sudo apt-get install ruby-dev sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo apt-get install pip
We use Markdown to write and Jekyll to translate the documentation to static HTML. You can install all needed software via:
sudo pip install mkdocs sudo gem install html-proofer sudo gem install mustache
If you are using Mac OSX 10.11+ (El Capitan), you will need to execute following command:
sudo gvim /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/ffi-1.9.10/lib/ffi/library.rb
And change following code in this file:
module FFI ... def self.map_library_name(lib) ... lib = Library::LIBC if lib == 'c' lib = Library::LIBCURL if lib == 'libcurl' ... module Library CURRENT_PROCESS = FFI::CURRENT_PROCESS LIBC = '/usr/lib/libc.dylib' LIBCURL = '/usr/lib/libcurl.dylib'
Command ./build_doc.sh
can be used to create a full document folder under site/.
The documentation pages are written in Markdown.
All documents are structured with headings. From these heading, a page outline is automatically generated for each page.
# Level-1 Heading <- Used for the title of the page ## Level-2 Heading <- Start with this one ### Level-3 heading #### Level-4 heading ##### Level-5 heading
Please stick to the “logical order” when using the headlines, e.g. start with level-2 headings and use level-3 headings for subsections, etc. Don‘t use a different ordering, because you don’t like how a headline looks.
Command mkdocs build
can be used to make a test build.
Command mkdocs serve
can be used for debug purpose. Mkdocs will start a web server at localhost:8000
. Use this mode to experiment commits and check changes locally.
