Change documentation of the notebook to a uniform format and complete notebook doctest/documentation coverage.

I think there is some "overlap" here with version 2 of the patch at #5360. But that patch makes only a few changes to notebook.py
. To avoid merge conflicts, should I put them in a separate patch or bring them here?
comment:2 Changed 13 years ago by
If you don't mind, I merged the changes from #5360 to save you the trouble.
comment:3 Changed 13 years ago by
Thanks! #5360 is now marked for closure.

I think the patch somehow got doubled in size during the merger.
comment:5 Changed 13 years ago by
Yes, it got messed up the first times around, but it seems to be the right size: trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v2.patch (112.6 KB)
.
comment:6 Changed 13 years ago by
Version 3 adds lots of small changes to introspect.py
, misc.py
, docHTMLProcessor.py
, interact.py
, notebook.py
, template.py
, and support.py
.
Topics: missing docstrings, directives, blank lines, bullet points, headings; other inconsistencies; Sphinx warnings; etc. The doctests pass, apart the known problem with randomly ordered tests in worksheet.py
.
I apologize for stepping on any toes. There may still be other problems, besides those I just introduced. Prepping server/
for the reference manual is tedious, but the docstrings do appear to render somewhat more nicely now, especially those in interact.py
.
Please feel free to make more changes. Or we can just put this up for review and fix the remaining quirks as we find them.

Version 4. Brought up cell.py
coverage to almost 100%, except for 2 functions.

Version 4 adds docstrings and doctests for cell.py
except for 2 functions: one of which is a hack (doc_html
), and the other I have no idea how to test (stop_interacting
).
I'll put this up for review, and we can work on the rest of the documentation another time (unless you want to add some more now?).

The patch trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v4.patch

The test suite reports one doctest failure:

For whitespace errors, see the file /scratch/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1/tmp/.doctest_cell.py [26.4 s]
I'm marking this as "needs work", since at least the doctest failure must be resolved. The warnings from building the reference manual can be addressed via another ticket. However, it would be nice if both of these issues could be fixed here.

I've fixed the warnings and the doctest failure.

v6 changes:
- Fixed
INPUT::
intemplate.py
. - Removed the space immediately after
:meth:
in two places incell.py
. - Removed
config.py
fromnotebook.rst
, since there's no significant documentation yet on notebook key bindings.
That's impressive coverage for cell.py
! It seems that Cell.stop_interacting()
isn't even called in the Sage library.

One way to placate Sphinx about the unused source file doc/en/reference/sage/server/notebook/config.rst
: Delete doc/output/*/en/reference/
and rebuild from scratch.

The patch trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch
applies OK, but with fuzz:
[mvngu@sage sage-main]$ hg qimport http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6840/trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch && hg qpush adding trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch to series file applying trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch patching file sage/server/notebook/config.py Hunk #1 succeeded at 1 with fuzz 1 (offset -1 lines). Now at: trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch
Don't worry too much about the fuzz. I have attached a reviewer patch that fixes typos introduced by the previous patch. If you're OK with that reviewer patch, then the ticket gets a positive review and patches should be merged in this order:
trac_6840-notebook-documentation-v6.patch
trac_6840-reviewer.patch
comment:13 Changed 13 years ago by
Thanks very much for fixing the typos, including AttributeErrro
.
Is it alright if we treat the "PLANNING" section near the top of interact.py
as "internal" documentation, at least for now? I haven't checked that it's current and Sphinx complains copiously about it. Either way, just let me know, and I'll attach v2 of the reviewer patch, since I found at least one more minor change to make (2D
to 2-D
).
By the way, is there a reST alternative to double back-quotes that puts the enclosed text in a fixed-width font but does not change its background color?
comment:14 follow-up: ↓ 15 Changed 13 years ago by
While I'm here I should ask whether we should put both side-effects, including possible exceptions, and return values in OUTPUT
sections. Mostly, I've mentioned just the return values in OUTPUT
. On occasion, I've noted significant effects in the blurb at the top of a docstring.

New reviewer patch attached. Please use that one. That should get rid of the complaints by Sphinx.
Either way, just let me know, and I'll attach v2 of the reviewer patch, since I found at least one more minor change to make (
2D
to2-D
).
The updated reviewer patch also addresses this issue.

I don't know.

That's a good idea. Document what works and what doesn't. I usually have a "TESTS:" section for a method/function/class where I document exceptions that could be raised when using that method/function/class.
