# Building MuPDF Documentation
This documentation relies on
[Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/)
to publish HTML docs from source files written with
[reStructuredText](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html)
and [Markdown](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html).
## Installing Sphinx
This README assumes you have [installed Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/installation.html) on your system.
We recommend setting up a virtual environment:
python -m venv .venv
Activate the environment by sourcing the activation script:
source .venv/bin/activate
In this environment run pip to install Sphinx and all the required modules.
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
## Building HTML documentation
Within the virtual environment you can now build the documentation:
sphinx-build docs build/docs
To do a fresh rebuild (in case files in the `_static` folder or the toc structure has changed):
sphinx-build -E -a docs build/docs
## Live edit HTML documentation
You can use [Sphinx Autobuild](https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-autobuild/) to rebuild
the documentation on changes, with hot reloading in the browser.
pip install sphinx-autobuild
sphinx-autobuild --open-browser docs build/docs
## Using the Makefile targets
We also have makefile targets and helper scripts to perform the above tasks:
make docs
make docs-live
