Docker Documentation
====================
2013-03-25 23:48:04 -04:00
Documentation
-------------
This is your definite place to contribute to the docker documentation. After each push to master the documentation
is automatically generated and made available on [docs.docker.io](http://docs.docker.io)
2013-03-25 23:48:04 -04:00
Each of the .rst files under sources reflects a page on the documentation.

* Change the `.rst` files with your favorite editor to your liking.
* Run `make docs` to clean up old files and generate new ones.
* Your static website can now be found in the `_build` directory.

Working using GitHub's file editor
2013-03-25 23:48:04 -04:00
----------------------------------
2013-06-02 00:26:54 -04:00
Alternatively, for small changes and typo's you might want to use GitHub's built in file editor. It allows
2013-08-12 13:53:06 -04:00
you to preview your changes right online. Just be careful not to create many commits.

Images
------
When you need to add images, try to make them as small as possible (e.g. as gif).
Notes
-----
2013-03-25 23:48:04 -04:00
* For the template the css is compiled from less. When changes are needed they can be compiled using
lessc ``lessc main.less`` or watched using watch-lessc ``watch-lessc -i main.less -o main.css``
Guides on using sphinx
----------------------
* To make links to certain pages create a link target like so:
```
.. _hello_world:
Hello world
===========
This is.. (etc.)
```
The ``_hello_world:`` will make it possible to link to this position (page and marker) from all other pages.
* Notes, warnings and alarms
```
# a note (use when something is important)
.. note::
# a warning (orange)
.. warning::
# danger (red, use sparsely)
.. danger::
* Code examples

Start without $, so it's easy to copy and paste.
Manpages
--------
* To make the manpages, simply run 'make man'. Please note there is a bug in spinx 1.1.3 which makes this fail.
Upgrade to the latest version of sphinx.
* Then preview the manpage by running `man _build/man/docker.1`, where _build/man/docker.1 is the path to the generated
manfile
* The manpages are also autogenerated by our hosted readthedocs here: http://docs-docker.dotcloud.com/projects/docker/downloads/
