The front end documentation is generated by Sphinx.

pip3 install -U Sphinx shibuya

If pip3 is not an alias for Python 3's PIP, use:

pip install -U Sphinx shibuya

To use the exact versions that CI checks the documentation with (requires Python 3.12 or newer):

pip3 install -r doc/requirements.txt

To make an HTML version of the documentation, after Sphinx is installed:

cd doc
make html

These files can then be viewed in the browser by opening build/html/index.html.

To check for warnings the same way CI does, which fails on any warning:

make html SPHINXOPTS="-W"

The website repository builds this documentation with make dirhtml and publishes two copies of it:

• https://edgcpp.org/doc/ is the release documentation, built from the tag named by COMPILER_DOC_REF in the website's .github/workflows/build_and_deploy.yml. Bump that to publish a newer release's documentation.
• https://edgcpp.org/dev/doc/ is the development documentation, built from main.

In this repository, the Documentation workflow checks that the documentation builds without warnings on every pull request and push to main that touches doc/. When such a push to main passes, it triggers the website's workflow, which updates https://edgcpp.org/dev/doc/.
