Summary: The shebang line `#!<path to interpreter>` is only required for Python scripts, so remove it on source files for class or function definitions. Additionally explicitly mark as executable the actual Python scripts in the codebase.

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.
