Homepage and documentation source for Ansible
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This project hosts the source behind [docs.ansible.com](http://docs.ansible.com/)
|
|
|
|
Contributions to the documentation are welcome. To make changes, submit a pull request
|
|
that changes the reStructuredText files in the "rst/" directory only, and the core team can
|
|
do a docs build and push the static files.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to verify output from the markup
|
|
such as link references, you may install sphinx and build the documentation by running
|
|
`make viewdocs` from the `ansible/docsite` directory.
|
|
|
|
To include module documentation you'll need to run `make webdocs` at the top level of the repository. The generated
|
|
html files are in docsite/htmlout/.
|
|
|
|
To limit module documentation building to a specific module, run `MODULES=NAME
|
|
make webdocs` instead. This should make testing module documentation syntax much
|
|
faster. Instead of a single module, you can also specify a comma-separated list
|
|
of modules. In order to skip building documentation for all modules, specify
|
|
non-existing module name, for example `MODULES=none make webdocs`.
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to learn the reStructuredText format, you can also [file issues] about
|
|
documentation problems on the Ansible GitHub project.
|
|
|
|
Note that module documentation can actually be [generated from a DOCUMENTATION docstring][module-docs]
|
|
in the modules directory, so corrections to modules written as such need to be made
|
|
in the module source, rather than in docsite source.
|
|
|
|
To install sphinx and the required theme, install pip and then "pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme"
