It includes these manuals:
* Admin User Guide
* Architecture Design Guide
* Cloud Administrator Guide
* Command-Line Interface Reference
* Configuration Reference
* Documentation Contributor Guide
* End User Guide
* Installation Guides
* Networking Guide
* Virtual Machine Image Guide
In addition to the guides, this repository contains:
* docs.openstack.org: ``www``
Prerequisites
=============
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
documentation.
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later::
apt-get install maven
On Fedora 20 and later::
yum install maven
On openSUSE 13.1 and later::
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE_13.1/devel:tools:building.repo
zypper install maven
Building
========
The different manuals are in subdirectories of the
``openstack-manuals/doc/`` directory.
DocBook guides
--------------
For example, the root directory of the *OpenStack Virtual Machine Image Guide*
is ``openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide``.
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
cd openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is::
openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/image-guide/image-guide.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/image-guide/content/index.html
RST guides
----------
Then, you can see some guides written in the RST format, so we can't use mvn command.
You can use tox to prepare virtual environment and build all RST based guides::
tox -e docs
You can also build a specific guide.
For example, to build *OpenStack End User Guide*, use the following command::
tox -e build -- user-guide
You can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at::
openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/build/html/index.html
Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================
Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
gating jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
* ``tox -e checklinks`` - to run the tests for working remote URLs
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
* ``tox -e checklang`` - to build translated manuals
tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these
tests.
