Using Docker is easier than configuring your local machine to build sphinx:

First, build the local Docker container:

make docker-make

Then you're ready to build the site:

make docker-build

You can view the site in your browser by navigating to index.html located in <PATH_TO_CLONED_REPO>/_build/html/index.html.

Make sure to run make docker-build each time you save your changes to view them live.

Alternatively, you can auto-rebuild the site and refresh the browser by using the following instead of make docker-build :

make docker-watch

Pages can be written in markdown .md or restructured text .rst

Add new pages to the /docs/ folder. Link pages to the navigation by inputting their relative filepath in the toctree located in index.md. Second-level pages can be made by adding a toctree to a parent file.

Markdown example:

To link a top-level page, insert a toctree and filepath into index.md:

```{toctree}
:hidden:
/docs/top-level-page
/docs/other-top-level-page
```

This will list top-level-page in the navigation.

To link a second-level page, add a filename's relative path to the toctree in the parent file.

In top-level-page.md, input the following toctree

```{toctree}
:hidden:
/docs/second-level-page
```

These two examples together will create the following navigation:

Top level page

• Second level page
  Other top level page

All links written in markdown are relative. Full URLs will render as external filepaths.

Admonitions are made in markdown with the following syntax:

:::{warning}
 
This is the body of my warning admonition.
 
:::

Custom admonition syntax:

:::{admonition} This is my custom admonition title
:class: warning
 
This is the body of my admonition
 
:::
