Status

This guide is currently in a beta stage.

ReadTheDocs builds the HTML from what's in the published branch; the master branch will often be slightly ahead of published, containing material that I feel is not quite ready to be published yet.

If you read through an earlier version of this guide and want to see what has changed in the meantime, there is a changelog. There is also GitHub's compare view. For example, this view compares what's in the published branch now with what published looked like 2 days ago.

Working on this locally

this is really just a note for me, please see the above paragraph re: contributions

Compiled using Sphinx. I have been developing on Ubuntu using the default version from the Ubuntu repositories; install like this:

$ sudo apt install python3-sphinx

At the time of writing, on Ubuntu 16.04, this gets you Sphinx v1.3.6. The hosting is done by Read The Docs; I'm not sure what version of Sphinx they're using, but it seems to work fine between both environments.

To rebuild, change to the project directory and run:

$ make html

The html will be written to the _build directory; I recommend spinning up a simple HTTP server in there to use whilst developing. The npm package serve can provide this.
