2NEMO Quick Start Guide
3**********************
4
5| The NEMO guide is made up of several files written in `ReStructuredText <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html>`_ (`.rst` extension), a WYSIWYG markup language used in the Python community, and scattered all over the NEMO sources.
6| You can view them one by one in plain text from `./source` folder, or export all to a user-friendly guide under `./build` (only HTML format at the moment, PDF expected later).
7
8Build and export the guide in HTML
9==================================
10
111.  Install Sphinx documentation generator, its BibTeX extension and "Read The Docs" theme thanks to `pip` packages tool
12
13    .. code-block:: console
14
15        $ pip install sphinx sphinxcontrib.bibtex sphinx_rtd_theme
16
172.  Build the HTML export with `make` in `./build/html`
18
19    .. code-block:: console
20
21        $ make html
22
233.  Finally browse the guide by opening `./build/html/NEMO_guide.html`
24
25
26Edit the sources and check the output in real time
27==================================================
28
29| To facilitate the update of the guide, editors can install a useful package that will automatically trigger a new build and the reload of the HTML page for every recorded change in the sources.
30| So the reviewer saves time by controlling on-line their modifications almost as it types and also by avoiding repeated interactive rebuilds.
31
32Install `sphinx-autobuild` package
33
34.. code-block:: console
35
36   $ pip install sphinx-autobuild
37
38Launch a local web server hosting a draft export of the guide (build this time in `./build/livehtml`)
39
40.. code-block:: console
41
42    $ make livehtml
43
44| Open in the same time the 2 formats of the content to review: the source file and the web page by browsing from the new guide hosted by your local server on `<http://127.0.0.1:8000/NEMO_guide.html>`_.
45| Start the update, save your changes and verify instantly the HTML export in your browser.
46
47.. warning::
48
49    | Your modifications are not taken into account?
50    | For symlink file, you will have to close it to update the HTML export. Otherwise look at the log of the Sphinx build, you probably made a typo!
51
52.. hint::
53
54    Are there broken links? Fix "Page not found" errors by running `make linkcheck`
