From 89c973445c6bbb08551703917a4eec6e484a3e0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Likins Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 15:44:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] generate rst doc pages for command line tools (#27530) * let generate_man also gen rst pages for cli tools * make template-file, output-dir, output format cli options for generate_man * update main Makefile to use generate_man.py for docs (man pages and rst) * update vault docs that use :option: * Edits based on https://github.com/alikins/ansible/commit/6e34ea62429c417939bd96b6de5bf7e6ab1ff765 and https://github.com/alikins/ansible/commit/a3afc785357878da354e21a709cf3b9f16c3f146 * add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value. Fixes building ansible-config man page. * add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than first line being indented. * Add refs to cli command actions To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use: :option:`The link text here ` or: :option:`--vault-id ` To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use: :ref:`The link text here ` or most of the time: :ref:`ansible-vault encrypt ` --- Makefile | 6 +- docs/bin/generate_man.py | 244 +++++++++++++++++++----- docs/docsite/Makefile | 11 +- docs/docsite/rst/command_line_tools.rst | 15 ++ docs/docsite/rst/index.rst | 1 + docs/docsite/rst/vault.rst | 35 ++-- docs/templates/cli_rst.j2 | 139 ++++++++++++++ docs/templates/man.j2 | 30 +-- lib/ansible/cli/config.py | 3 +- 9 files changed, 403 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/docsite/rst/command_line_tools.rst create mode 100644 docs/templates/cli_rst.j2 diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 84b3c99154e..8dc535da235 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ ASCII2HTMLMAN = a2x -L -D docs/html/man/ -d manpage -f xhtml else ASCII2MAN = @echo "ERROR: AsciiDoc 'a2x' command is not installed but is required to build $(MANPAGES)" && exit 1 endif +GENERATE_CLI = docs/bin/generate_man.py PYTHON=python SITELIB = $(shell $(PYTHON) -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()") @@ -343,8 +344,9 @@ webdocs: .PHONY: generate_asciidoc generate_asciidoc: lib/ansible/cli/*.py -
