This file explains how to generate the online documentation.

Documentation settings

The online documentation is generated using readthedocs. The main configuration files are located in the root directory of the project :

• readthedocs.yml specifies the Python environment and the mkdocs configuration file.
• mkdocs.yml speficies the configuration of mkdocs.

The documentation source files are located in the docs directory. Building the online documentation only requires the files specified in the nav section of mkdocs.yml (along with the depending Python code for the Jupyter notebook).

To preview the documentation locally, it is possible to run mkdocs serve from the folder containing the mkdocs.yml file (in a Python environment that contains the package mkdocs).

readthedocs follows the github branches configured by the admin and displays the documentation accordingly. These choices can be managed there. You must be logged in to readthedocs and granted the appropriate modification rights on the project.
