README.md

This directory houses the online docs for core SciJava components. Each subfolder is its own ReadTheDocs site.

Building the docs

If this is your first time building the docs on this machine, create the needed environment with:

mamba env create -f environment.yml

Subsequently, every time you want to build, run the following commands:

mamba activate scijava-docs
make clean html && python -m http.server

If all goes well, you'll see output ending like:

The HTML pages are in _build/scijava-ops/html.
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

To view the built site, open the HTTP link in your browser of choice, then navigate to the stated subdirectory.

Adding a new ReadTheDocs page for a project in this repository

We use sphinx-multiproject to build multiple RTD sites from within a single repository. To add a new site within this repository, take the following steps:

Create a new subfolder for the site's documents

See the existing ops folder for a template.

Add relevant sections to this folder's conf.py

Specifically, you'll want to add an entry to the multiproject_projects dictionary. Again, you can copy and edit the ops entry.

Create a new project on ReadTheDocs

You'll want to take the following steps:

  1. Choose to import a project manually
  2. Set the repository URL to the GitHub of this project
  3. In the Admin section of the newly created site, find the Advanced Settings tab and change the Path for .readthedocs.yaml to docs/.readthedocs.yaml
  4. In the Admin section of the newly created site, find the Environment Variables tab and add a new variable, mapping the PROJECT environment variable to the newly added key in the multiproject_projects dictionary.

After that, you should have a new site ready to go!
