Pycairo Documentation README ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This directory contains the reStructuredText (reST) sources to the Pycairo documentation. Options for accessing pycairo documentation: 1. Read the documentation online at http://cairographics.org/documentation/pycairo/ 2. Download the latest 'pycairo-x.x.x-docs-html.tar.gz' prebuilt documents from http://www.cairographics.org/releases/. Uncompress the docs and point your browser at the index.html file. 3. Build the documentation yourself - the hardest option, see details below. Building the docs ================= You need to install Python 2.4 or higher; the toolset used to build the docs are written in Python. The toolset used to build the documentation is called *Sphinx*, it is not included in this tree, but maintained separately in the Python Subversion repository. Also needed are Jinja, a templating engine (included in Sphinx as a Subversion external), and optionally Pygments, a code highlighter. Using make ---------- make html Available make targets are: * "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing. * "htmlhelp", which builds HTML files and a HTML Help project file usable to convert them into a single Compiled HTML (.chm) file -- these are popular under Microsoft Windows, but very handy on every platform. To create the CHM file, you need to run the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop over the generated project (.hhp) file. * "latex", which builds LaTeX source files that can be run with "pdflatex" to produce PDF documents. * "text", which builds a plain text file for each source file. * "linkcheck", which checks all external references to see whether they are broken, redirected or malformed, and outputs this information to stdout as well as a plain-text (.txt) file. * "changes", which builds an overview over all versionadded/versionchanged/ deprecated items in the current version. This is meant as a help for the writer of the "What's New" document. * "pydoc-topics", which builds a Python module containing a dictionary with plain text documentation for the labels defined in `tools/sphinxext/pyspecific.py` -- pydoc needs these to show topic and keyword help. A "make update" updates the Subversion checkouts in `tools/`. Without make ------------ You'll need to checkout the Sphinx package to the `tools/` directory:: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/doctools/trunk/sphinx tools/sphinx Then, you need to install Docutils 0.4 (the SVN snapshot won't work), either by checking it out via :: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/docutils-0.4/docutils tools/docutils or by installing it from http://docutils.sf.net/. You can optionally also install Pygments, either as a checkout via :: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Pygments-0.9/pygments tools/pygments or from PyPI at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments. Then, make an output directory, e.g. under `build/`, and run :: python tools/sphinx-build.py -b<builder> . build/<outputdirectory> where `<builder>` is one of html, web or htmlhelp (for explanations see the make targets above).
