Setup
Install dependencies
pip install -U recommonmark mock sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme sphinx_markdown_tables
Add symlink to the root README.md
We want to include the root readme as an overview. Before generating the docs create a symlink to the root readme.
cd docs
ln -s ../README.md overview.md
In conf.py for deployment this is done using subprocess.call.
Add a new file
Add a new .md or .rst file and add the name to the doc tree in index.rst e.g
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:caption: Intro Documentation
overview
To autogenerate docs from docstrings in the source code, add the import path for the function e.g.
Chamfer Loss
--------------------
.. autoclass:: loss.chamfer.chamfer_distance
:members:
:undoc-members:
.. automethod:: __init__
Build
From pytorch3d/docs run:
> make html
The website is generated in _build/html.
Common Issues
Sphinx can be fussy, and sometimes about things you weren’t expecting. For example, you might encounter something like:
WARNING: toctree contains reference to nonexisting document u'overview' ... checking consistency... /docs/overview.rst:: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
You might have indented overview in the .. toctree:: in index.rst with four spaces, when Sphinx is expecting three.
