= Some tips and tricks about the documentation system =

I had some trouble to use the new documentation system. I'm putting here some tips and tricks. For now on, it's only my "experience returns" so that this may not be the right way to do. Please expand and correct...

== For the impatient ==

The two most important things to know are
 * {{{``inline literal``}}} for sage row code
 
 * {{{`LaTeX interpreted text`}}} for mathematics

 * Any line ending with {{{::}}} means that the following indented things are a literal block (usually {{{sage: commands}}})
 
== Quick ref of the format ==

The link [[http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html|quickref]] gives a not so short description of the format.

== Step by step instruction for building the doc ==

 * Here are the step if you want to rebuild the doc at home: First issue a
{{{
sage -b
}}}
to make sure that the sage is up-to-date with your modifications. Then depending of the desired format you call
{{{
sage -docbuild reference <format>
}}}
For example, I use the {{{html}}} format so that I call
{{{
sage -b && sage -docbuild reference html
}}}
Then the compiled doc is found at
{{{
$SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/doc/output/html/en/reference/index.html
}}}
You can use you browser to view it...

== Getting help on the docbuild system ==

{{{
sage -docbuild -help
}}}
explains all the {{{sage -docbuild}}} options.

== How to find the unincluded docs ? ==

You can generate such the list by:
{{{
sage -docbuild reference print_unincluded_modules
}}}

== Do you want to know more ? ==

 * Why was it decided to [[http://wiki.sagemath.org/SphinxSEP|switch]] ?

 * The new format of doc is called {{{reStructuredText}}} it is hosted on sourceforge at [[http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html|ReST]].
