This is the project documentation for the Apache Mynewt project. It is built using Sphinx.
Each component of Mynewt contains its own specific documentation in its repo under docs
. At build time these are combined to create the full document set for publication.
The Apache Mynewt source code also contains inline comments in Doxygen format to document its APIs.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText.
Embedding Doxygen generated source documentation is through the Breathe bridge. This bridge embeds source documentation using Sphinx's C domain. For example: .. doxygenfile:: full/include/console/console.h
Documents can then refer to code elements using the C domain syntax. For example: :c:func:`console_read()`
or :c:data:`console_input`
.
Linking to other files should be relative for ease of deployment and multi-version support. For example :doc: `../../newt/install/newt_mac`
.

NOTE: These instructions assume that your workspace has all the mynewt repos cloned under the same parent directory.
master
and that the master
branch is checked out.When the master
/latest
documentation is deemed representative of a Mynewt version, it is time to create a versioned set.
Make sure all your mynewt-* repos are up to date and that all changes are merged and committed.
Add the new version to mynewt-documentation/docs/themes/mynewt/versions.html
mynewt-documentation/versions/*/mynewt-documentation/docs/themes/mynewt/versions.html
Make a versions/vX_Y_Z directory
Copy mynewt-documentation/* (except versions!) into versions/vX_Y_Z/mynewt-documentation
Copy the mynewt-core repo into versions/vX_Y_Z/mynewt-core
Repeat for other mynewt-* repos with doxygen docs and a /docs folder
Update the version fields in
docs/conf.py
versions/vX_Y_Z/mynewt-documentation/docs/conf.py
