================================
Writing RDFLib Documentation
================================
These docs are generated with Sphinx.
Sphinx makes it very easy to pull in doc-strings from modules,
classes, methods, etc. When writing doc-strings, special reST fields
can be used to annotate parameters, return-types, etc. This makes for
pretty API docs. See `here <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#info-field-lists>`_
for the Shinx documentation about these fields.
Building
--------
To build the documentation you can use Sphinx from within the poetry environment. To do this, run the following commands:
.. code-block:: bash
# Install poetry venv
poetry install
# Build the sphinx docs
poetry run sphinx-build -b html -d docs/_build/doctrees docs docs/_build/html
Docs will be generated in :file:`docs/_build/html` and API documentation,
generated from doc-strings, will be placed in :file:`docs/apidocs/`.
There is also a `tox <https://tox.wiki/en/latest/>`_ environment for building
documentation:
.. code-block:: bash
tox -e docs
API Docs
--------
API Docs are automatically generated with ``sphinx-apidoc``:
.. code-block:: bash
poetry run sphinx-apidoc -f -d 10 -o docs/apidocs/ rdflib examples
Note that ``rdflib.rst`` was manually tweaked so as to not include all
imports in ``rdflib/__init__.py``.
Tables
------
The tables in ``plugin_*.rst`` were generated with ``plugintable.py``
