Each major target of polybar can now be enabled/disabled while configuring (even polybar itself). The cmake code specific to each target will only run if the target is enabled. This allows us to for example just build the documentation without having to run all the cmake code related to compilation or having the polybar dependencies installed (other than sphinx).

Polybar Manual
The official polybar documentation lives here.
The html documentation and man pages are built automatically when you build with cmake (cmake creates the custom
target doc
).
Preview Locally
The documentation uses Sphinx to generate the documentation, so you will need to have that installed.
If you build polybar normally while having Sphinx installed during configuration, the documentation will be enabled and
built as well. Building the documentation can be disabled by passing -DBUILD_DOC=OFF
to cmake
.
Once configured, all of the documentation can be generated with make doc
or use make doc_html
or make doc_man
to
only generate the html documentation or the man pages respectively.
The HTML documentation is in doc/html/index.html
in your build directory and the man pages are in doc/man
.
