# About
|
|
|
|
This project is an experiment of how to generate the WTF handbook in various output formats (HTML, epub and pdf) from the [git repository for the WTF handbook](https://git.wtf-eg.de/wtf-eg/handbuch). The handbuch sources are included as git submodule.
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) configuration and a Sphinx theme adapted for the [corporate identity of WTF cooperation](https://git.wtf-eg.de/ag_kommunikation/wtf_propaganda).

# How to build
|
|
|
|
### Checkout with submodules
|
|
|
|
This repository accesses the required WTF handbook's content as a git submodule. Therefore, make sure to check out this repository including its submodule:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.wtf-eg.de/wtf-eg/handbuch-gen.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Python based dependencies
|
|
|
|
In order to generate the documentation, first create a Python 3 virtual environment using the `venv` module included in Python 3:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a virtual Python environment in the directory `venv`: ```python3 -m venv venv```
|
|
1. Activate the virtual Python environment: ```source venv/bin/activate```
|
|
1. Install the packages listed in [requirements.txt](./requirements.txt) using `pip`: ```pip install -r requirements.txt```
|
|
|
|
### Other dependencies
|
|
|
|
For generating the images from PlantUML sources (`*.plantuml`), [PlantUML](https://plantuml.com/) is required.
|
|
|
|
For pdf output the LaTeX builder is used, so `latex` and `pdflatex` need to be installed.
|
|
|
|
### Running the document generation via make
|
|
|
|
The top level directory contains a Makefile, for generation with all output formats use
|
|
|
|
`````
|
|
make bundle
|
|
`````
|
|
|
|
In order to automatically determine the version string from the latest Git tag, execute the following command before calling `make`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export SPHINXOPTS="-D version=$(git -C source/handbuch describe --tags --abbrev=0) -D release=$(git -C source/handbuch describe --tags)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output files of the final handbook can be found in the subfolder `./bundle`.
|
|
|
|
All generated intermediate artifacts and the final output files can be found in the `./build` subfolder.
