Description (last modified by jhpalmieri)

The patch here implements 

sage --docbuild file=/path/to/foo.py TYPE

where TYPE may be any of the standard documentation types (e.g., html or pdf). This lets you build the docs for a file inside or outside the Sage library. It doesn't work for .sage or .pyx files right now, only .py files.

ping: Hello!! There is a patch file here! So, does this code need review? :) Thanks!

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by jhpalmieri

Well, it doesn't work for .pyx files, and I think that should be fixed before it's ready for review. When I wrote the original patch, I didn't spend a lot of time working on it, so there are probably other flaws as well. You can certainly test it out and report the results here.

comment:11 Changed 8 years ago by jhpalmieri

It would be nice if this worked for .pyx or .sage files, but I think it could be reviewed as is, and merged if it's okay. Then later someone can add the functionality for .pyx or .sage files.

Hi there,

The option does not appear within sage -docbuild --help but it should!

Another minor question: it is a bit annoying that the resulting file belongs to $HOME/.sage/docbuild/output/$NAME_OF_THE_FILE/output/html. Is it possible to do otherwise?

This is a really amazing gadget!

This option will now appear in the help message. Also, you can specify the flag -o DIR to write the output to DIR.

I just discovered this gadget. Yeah! Finally! I have been dreaming of this for a while. Indeed, I write my course notes and work sheets in ReST, and my workflow to convert them to html is, err, painful.

I am just missing one feature: having it work on .rst files as well. Would it be hard?

Thanks!

You could check out the documentation for sage -sws2rst where it tells how to convert the rst files to actual documentation using Sphinx; maybe that will give you an idea of how to do it easily with this (it's been a while since I looked at it).

comment:22 Changed 7 years ago by jhpalmieri

sage -sws2txt is not a bad first draft for this. Maybe some modification of that script would do what you want. (It seems to produce html, not txt, despite the name. I guess that's consistent with its documentation.)
