* HACKING.rst: It is not longer required to install BuildStream to build the docs.Tristan Van Berkom2018-08-051-3/+0

* HACKING.rst: Add note about protocol buffers and code generationJürg Billeter2018-07-171-0/+22

* doc/Makefile: Stage stored sessions from session-storedtristan/getting-startedTristan Van Berkom2018-06-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | Separate the revisioned provisional session html files such that the git tree does not become dirty as a result of a documentation build process - which messes up the docs version number and the version number printed in some command line output.
* doc/bst2html.py, doc/Makefile: Added --force optionTristan Van Berkom2018-06-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | If --force is not specified, then we'll skip session files in the case that all of the outputs exist. Now setting BST_FORCE_SESSION_REBUILD when building the docs will cause the session files to be rebuilt regardless of whether they exist or not. The .gitlab-ci.yml was also changed to use this and force rebuilds.
* doc/bst2html.py: Add support for `fake-output` when running commands.Tristan Van Berkom2018-06-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When specifying a fake-output string, we don't really run the command or assume it was a `bst` command, and we pretend that `fake-output` was the output of the command. Specifying an empty string explicitly enables the behavior too for faking a command that has no stdout/stderr. This also adds the "remove-files" hack allowing the session scripts to remove files before executing commands (kind of unsure if we're gonna keep this...)
* doc: Improve the new console output html generatorTristan Van Berkom2018-06-131-13/+31
| | | | | | | | | | Before we were creating one description file for each output, making it easier to declare a make rule for it - but the result was that we would have to build things more and it takes a long time. Instead, now we have session files which describe a series of commands to run in a session, and each command optionally produces an output file.
* doc: Overhaul of page names and titlesTristan Van Berkom2018-06-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Giving main pages simple word titles This makes the main page: * About * Installing * Using * Reference * Contributing o Now named all rst files with their parent page name as a prefix. o Also changed some titles to make overall consistent titles.
* doc: Don't allow setting a height on the generated session htmlTristan Van Berkom2018-06-121-3/+0
| | | | | | This was a bad idea and doesnt play well with mobile UIs, better off to just include the whole thing even if it's long, and let the backing page handle vertical scrolling.
