The chapter covers some writing guidelines for GeoTools documentation, along with some tips and tricks for working with Sphinx.

To build docs you will need the optional sphinx install:

You can build with maven:

  1. You can build everything:

    maven install
    

    This will build the Java code; followed by the documentation.

  2. Build just specific documentation:

    mvn install -Puser
    mvn install -Pdeveloper
    mvn install -Pweb
    mvn install -Pindex
    
  3. The results are available in the target folder:

    • target/user/html/index.html

    • target/developer/html/index.html

    • target/web/html/index.html

    • target/index/html/index.html

You can also build use ant; which is faster to start up (and will not build the Java code):

  1. You can build everything:

    ant full
    
  2. You can also build specific documentation:

    ant index
    ant user
    ant web
    ant developer
    
  3. The results are available in the target folder:

    • target/user/html/index.html

    • target/developer/html/index.html

    • target/web/html/index.html

    • target/index/html/index.html
