@xmfcx Thank you for your comment! 😄
Why not https://readthedocs.org/ ?
Yes, Read the Docs
can be a candidate.
IMO,
- Most developers are used to Markdown, not reStructuredText.
Read the Docs
supports Markdown, but I guess it's a bit limited? (I'm not sure.)
- It's easier to use. (at least for me)
- So I can maintain and it's ready to use now.
- It has more features like making the navigation tree as tabs.
- (Note: I'm not familiar with the features of
Read the Docs
.)
- (Note: I'm not familiar with the features of
(I've never heard of mkdocs before)
It's very widely used!
- It has 8.3k stars now and is actively developed.
- Eclipse iceoryx uses it.
Read the Docs
wrote about it.- It was taken up on a blog post by GitHub.

on the other hand looks so spaced out, empty and incomplete.
Could you show the points you have concerns, in a picture like this? Are the red rectangle areas what you concerned?

We'll set up mkdocs-material for this repository as well and try to prepare the equivalent documents as Autoware.Auto.

(ROS2 uses it and it is also fast and beautiful https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/index.html )

Some of the features that we want:
- We want have searching result to be shown in the separate page like in read the docs
- We should have versioning of documents

We want have searching result to be shown in the separate page like in read the docs
This is available by this option if we use readthedocs
theme.
https://www.mkdocs.org/dev-guide/themes/#include_search_page
However, material
theme seems not supporting this.

@xmfcx Is this feature mandatory? If we'd like to simply share the URL, it's supported by material
theme.

We should have versioning of documents
This is available now by mike.
from autoware-documentation.
I like readthedocs
theme more actually. The material
theme feels more modern but incomplete, spaced out.
from autoware-documentation.
@xmfcx Thank you, I see. But I love the material theme.
So, since it depends on the person, I think it's better to decide by a questionnaire or something. Is that okay for you?
If it's okay, I'll send a PR for the comparison after I add some content.
Also, there is one more thing I'd like to clarify.
Is it okay for you to use MkDocs
? I mean, are you concerned only about the theme?
Or do you want to use other tools such as Sphinx
, mdBook
, etc?

If you want, you can arrange one in the slack. To me https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/index.html looks like the perfect documentation style for me. It is structured and solid. https://iceoryx.io/v1.0.1/getting-started/what-is-iceoryx/ on the other hand looks so spaced out, empty and incomplete.
If it's okay, I'll send a PR for the comparison after I add some content.
I don't think that's necessary, we know how both look like.

https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro/getting-started-with-sphinx.html#using-markdown-with-sphinx this I think is our best bet since it has the markdown that we want to use and core readthedocs
that I like.

Yes, but I guess we need to compare not only the looking but also some features.
Material
theme has many customizable features.
autoware-documentation/mkdocs.yaml
Lines 10 to 33 in 88163d1
You can test the features here.
https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-navigation/

As mentioned here, my concern is whether we can use the full features, I'm not sure about that and it takes some time to learn that.
Anyway, as a result of https://gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware-foundation/-/issues/198, we agreed to start with MkDocs
and consider moving to Read the Docs
later.

@kenji-miyake Regarding arguments in favour of mkdocs-materials or other, you could help us listing up some key open source projects using it. In particular, if ROS community also use it as main documentation platform, or there is a trend to, then there will not be many objections.
Similar to Doxygen, it seems capable of rendering LaTeX, so documentation involving some mathematical terms, diagrams, etc., should be possible.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.
from autoware-documentation.
@xmfcx Do you think we can close this and create a new issue if necessary in the future?
from autoware-documentation.
I assume yes.
