+## Building the documentation
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The documentation HTML is produced with the Ruby-based `jekyll` tool.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Make sure Ruby 2.x is installed.
|
|
|
+2. `gem install jekyll`
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Viewing the documentation locally
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Then to view the documentation in your local checkout:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Before you begin, cd into `docs/` directory, and `cp _config.yml _config.local.yml`. Then edit `_config.local.yml` and change the `url:` value to `http://localhost:4000`. This local config file will be ignored by git.
|
|
|
+1. In a separate shell session, `cd` to the `docs/` directory, and do:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+jekyll serve --incremental --config _config.local.yml
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+This will start an HTTP server at `http://localhost:4000/` that serves the docs built in the `_site` directory; and anytime the docs are rebuilt by you, it will serve the docs site on the fly.
|
|
|
+2. In your main shell session where you develop, if you change anything in `docs/` the jekyll server will rebuild those on the fly. But if you change anything about the Bulma SASS or CSS, you need to do `npm run start-docs` to build the docs' CSS before you will see it in the browser. The process running `jekyll serve` will pick up the new CSS automatically.
