# Daml Documentation | ||
|
||
This directory contains all of the documentation that gets published to docs.daml.com. | ||
This directory creates the bundle for [digital-asset/docs.daml.com]. | ||
|
||
## Writing documentation | ||
|
||
The docs are written in [reStructuredText](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html), built using [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/). | ||
[digital-asset/docs.daml.com]: https://github.com/digital-asset/docs.daml.com | ||
|
||
To edit documentation: | ||
## Writing documentation | ||
|
||
- Same as code: find the file, edit it on a branch, make a PR. | ||
- For new files, best to copy existing ones, to get the formatting right. | ||
- If you need to change the table of contents, look at the section about it further down | ||
- **Make sure you preview** before you push. Maybe include screenshots in a comment for your PR if relevant. | ||
- Don't insert line-breaks inside inline literals. Building preview will treat this as an error. | ||
Go to [digital-asset/docs.daml.com] and follow the intructions there. | ||
|
||
### Generated documentation | ||
|
||
Not all of our docs are in rst files: some get generated. They are: | ||
|
||
- the Ledger API proto docs, | ||
- the Daml standard library reference, | ||
- the Java bindings reference, | ||
- error codes inventory. | ||
- Ledger API proto docs | ||
- Daml standard library reference | ||
- Java bindings reference | ||
- error codes inventory | ||
|
||
To edit those docs, edit the content inside the code source. | ||
|
||
### Previewing | ||
|
||
To preview the docs run `scripts/preview.sh`. | ||
|
||
To live-preview the docs, run `scripts/live-preview.sh`. The script accepts two flags: | ||
|
||
- `--pdf` includes the PDF documentation, | ||
- `--gen` includes the generated documentation. | ||
|
||
Note that neither PDF, nor generated docs will benefit from live updates. | ||
To update generated docs or PDF docs, quit the preview script with CTRL+C and start it again. | ||
|
||
The preview is indicative of contents documented in this repository. For the final result, you | ||
should go to https://github.com/digital-asset/docs.daml.com and consult the preview instructions. | ||
|
||
### Style conventions | ||
|
||
For terminology and other style questions, follow the [main DA documentation style guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwE45gyxWXqlr4VTq9mJVnmSyBQ8V30ItucWBbCbViQ/edit). | ||
|
||
A few pieces of RST guidance: | ||
|
||
If you’re not familiar, it’s really worth reading the [primer](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html) for the basic syntax (emphasis, code text, lists, tables, images, comments, etc). | ||
- Keep paragraphs all on the same line (no newlines/line breaks). | ||
- Heading underlines in this hierarchical order: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
###### | ||
****** | ||
====== | ||
------ | ||
^^^^^^ | ||
"""""" | ||
``` | ||
- For internal links, use the `doc` directive where you can. | ||
- Before any lists in an .rst file, be sure to add an extra blank line. There should be two carriage returns between the text that comes before a list and the list itself. Otherwise, the list items will all be merged into a single paragraph. | ||
- For bullet points (unordered lists), use `-` (dashes). | ||
- For code blocks, use the `literalinclude` directive if you can: it's best to source code from files that we test whether they compile. | ||
|
||
## Updating the table of contents | ||
|
||
The table of contents is handled in https://github.com/digital-asset/docs.daml.com. | ||
|
||
If you want need to add an item that needs to end up on the table of contents, you need to: | ||
|
||
1. get the PR that introduces the new item | ||
2. wait for the following daily snapshot | ||
3. follow the instructions on https://github.com/digital-asset/docs.daml.com, in particular with regards to | ||
[making changes to the next unreleased version](https://github.com/digital-asset/docs.daml.com#making-changes-to-the-next-unreleased-version) | ||
|
||
## Linking to pages from the Canton documentation | ||
|
||
This repository only includes content for the Daml SDK. However the Daml documentation includes both | ||
content from this repository and from [Canton's](https://github.com/digital-asset/canton). This means that | ||
linking to a page in the Canton documentation requires some additional care. In particular, you have to: | ||
|
||
1. find the anchor point to which you want to link in the Canton documentation | ||
2. add the anchor point name in the `//docs/canton-refs.rst` document (unless it's already there) | ||
3. refer to the anchor point in your page | ||
|
||
You can see a small example of this procedure in | ||
[this commit](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/commit/30acaaea777b92712fe46c2062361f5f44b260ce). | ||
|
||
## How the docs get built | ||
|
||
The final documentation gets built as part of the `assembly` | ||
repository but the `daml` repository builds the Daml part of the | ||
documentation and checks that the sphinx builds passes without | ||
warnings. | ||
|
||
## Publishing docs | ||
|
||
Documentation is published automatically whenever a release is made | ||
under `https://docs.daml.com/$version/`. The documentation at | ||
`https://docs.daml.com` is updated by an hourly cron job to the latest | ||
version that has been marked as a non-prerelease on Github. | ||
|
||
## Testing code in docs | ||
|
||
TBD | ||
|
||
## Building the assembly repo against HEAD | ||
|
||
Especially for changes to the table of contents, it can often be | ||
useful to see the final version of the docs that is built by the | ||
assembly repo based on the current HEAD of the daml repository. For | ||
that, you can build and copy the artifacts from the Daml repository to | ||
the `download` directory of the assembly repository as follows: | ||
|
||
|
||
``` | ||
./docs/scripts/copy-assembly path/to/assembly/docs/download | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Afterwards, you can use the usual commands from the [assembly | ||
repository](https://github.com/DACH-NY/assembly/blob/main/docs/README.md) | ||
to build documentation where you use `0.0.0` as the SDK version, e.g., | ||
|
||
``` | ||
./live-preview.sh 0.0.0 2.0.0-rc9 | ||
``` |
