The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer.
It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2]. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing.
To create an HTML version of the docs:
- Install Sphinx (using
python -m pip install Sphinx
or some other method). - In this docs/ directory, type
make html
(ormake.bat html
on Windows) at a shell prompt.
The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser.
