The Coq documentation
=====================
The Coq documentation includes
- A Reference Manual
- A document presenting the Coq standard library
The documentation of the latest released version is available on the Coq
web site at [coq.inria.fr/documentation](http://coq.inria.fr/documentation).
Additionally, you can view the reference manual for the development version
at <https://coq.github.io/doc/master/refman/>, and the documentation of the
standard library for the development version at
<https://coq.github.io/doc/master/stdlib/>.
The reference manual is written is reStructuredText and compiled
using Sphinx. See [`sphinx/README.rst`](sphinx/README.rst)
to learn more about the format that is used.
The documentation for the standard library is generated from
the `.v` source files using coqdoc.
Dependencies
------------
### HTML documentation
To produce the complete documentation in HTML, you will need Coq dependencies
listed in [`INSTALL.md`](../INSTALL.md). Additionally, the Sphinx-based
reference manual requires Python 3, and the following Python packages:
- sphinx >= 4.5.0
- sphinx_rtd_theme >= 1.0.0
- beautifulsoup4 >= 4.8.2
- antlr4-python3-runtime >= 4.7.1 & <= 4.9.3
- pexpect >= 4.6.0
- sphinxcontrib-bibtex >= 0.4.2
To install them, you should first install pip and setuptools (for instance,
with `apt install python3-pip python3-setuptools` on Debian / Ubuntu) then run:
pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme beautifulsoup4 \
antlr4-python3-runtime==4.7.1 pexpect sphinxcontrib-bibtex
Nix users should get the correct development environment to build the
HTML documentation from Coq's [`default.nix`](../default.nix) (note this
doesn't include the LaTeX packages needed to build the full documentation).
You can check the dependencies using the `doc/tools/coqrst/checkdeps.py` script.
### Other formats
To produce the documentation in PDF and PostScript formats, the following
additional tools are required:
- latex (latex2e)
- pdflatex
- dvips
- makeindex
- xelatex
- latexmk
All of them are part of the TexLive distribution. E.g. on Debian / Ubuntu,
install them with:
apt install texlive-full
Or if you want to use less disk space:
apt install texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-xetex \
latexmk fonts-freefont-otf
### Setting the locale for Python
Make sure that the locale is configured on your platform so that Python encodes
printed messages with utf-8 rather than generating runtime exceptions
for non-ascii characters. The `.UTF-8` in `export LANG=C.UTF-8` sets UTF-8 encoding.
The `C` can be replaced with any supported language code. You can set the default
for a Docker build with `ENV LANG C.UTF-8`. (Python may look at other
environment variables to determine the locale; see the
[Python documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/locale.html#locale.getdefaultlocale)).
Compilation
-----------
The current documentation targets are:
- `make refman-html`
Build the reference manual in HTML form into `_build/default/doc/refman-html`
- `make refman-pdf`
Build the reference manual in PDF form into `_build/default/doc/refman-pdf`
- `make stdlib-html`
Build Coq's standard library documentation into `_build/default/doc/stdlib/html`
- `make apidoc`
Build the ML API's documentation into `_build/default/_doc/_html`
To build the Sphinx documentation without stopping at the first
warning, change the value of the `SPHINXWARNOPT` variable (default is
`-W`). The following will build the Sphinx documentation without
stopping at the first warning, and store all the warnings in the file
`/tmp/warn.log`:
```
SPHINXWARNOPT="-w/tmp/warn.log" make refman-html
```
Note that inspecting local copies of the docs may behave in unexpected ways if
opening the sources with a browser (eg with `firefox
_build/default/doc/refman-html/index.html`). In order to avoid this, either
inspect the version generated by the CI or run a local server, for example
with:
```
cd _build/default/doc/refman-html/ && python3 -m http.server
```
Installation
------------
The produced documents are stored in the described directories above,
you can install them just by copying the contents to the desired
directory.
In the future, the `coq-doc` and `coq-stdlib` opam packages will
install the documentation automatically.
