Matplotlib documentation
========================
Building the documentation
--------------------------
See :file:`doc/devel/documenting_mpl.rst` for instructions to build the docs.
Organization
------------
This is the top level directory for the Matplotlib
documentation. All of the documentation is written using Sphinx, a
python documentation system based on reStructuredText. This directory contains the
following
Files
^^^^^
* index.rst - the top level include document (and landing page) for the Matplotlib docs
* conf.py - the sphinx configuration
* docutils.conf - htmnl output configuration
* Makefile and make.bat - entry points for building the docs
* matplotlibrc - rcParam configuration for docs
* missing-references.json - list of known missing/broken references
Content folders
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* api - templates for generating the api documentation
* devel - documentation for contributing to Matplotlib
* project - about Matplotlib, e.g. mission, code of conduct, licenses, history, etc.
* users - usage documentation, e.g., installation, tutorials, faq, explanations, etc.
* thirdpartypackages - redirect to <https://matplotlib.org/mpl-third-party/>
Build folders
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* _static - supplementary files; e.g. images, CSS, etc.
* _templates - Sphinx page templates
* sphinxext - Sphinx extensions for the Matplotlib docs
Symlinks
--------
During the documentation build, sphinx-gallery creates symlinks from the source folders
in `/galleries` to target_folders in '/doc'; therefore ensure that you are editing the
real files rather than the symbolic links.
Source files -> symlink:
* galleries/tutorials -> doc/tutorials
* galleries/plot_types -> doc/plot_types
* galleries/examples -> doc/gallery
* galleries/users_explain -> doc/users/explain
