OpenStack Manuals
+++++++++++++++++
This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.

It includes these manuals:
* Administrator Guide

* Command-Line Interface Reference
* Configuration Reference
* Documentation Contributor Guide
* High Availability Guide
* Installation Guides
* Networking Guide
* Operations Guide
* Virtual Machine Image Guide
In addition to the guides, this repository contains:
* docs.openstack.org contents: ``www``
Building
========
Various manuals are in subdirectories of the ``doc/`` directory.
Guides
------
Some pre-requisites are needed to build the guides. If you are using a Linux
operating system you can generate a report of missing local requirements with
the ``bindep`` command::
$ tox -e bindep
All guides are in the RST format. You can use ``tox`` to prepare
virtual environment and build all guides (HTML only)::
$ tox -e docs
You can also build a specific guide.
For example, to build *OpenStack Virtual Machine Image Guide*, use the
following command::
$ tox -e build -- image-guide
You can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at::
doc/image-guide/build/html/index.html
To build a specific guide with a PDF file, add a ``-pdf`` option like::
$ tox -e build -- image-guide --pdf
The generated PDF file will be copied to the root directory of the
generated HTML documentation.
If you get this message `make: xelatex: No such file or directory` it means
your local environment does not have LaTeX installed. Read `Getting LaTeX
<https://www.latex-project.org/get/>`_ for instructions.
Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================
Install the Python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of the OpenStack
CI jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
* ``tox -e checklang`` - to build translated manuals
* ``tox -e linters`` - to run the niceness tests
* ``tox -e linkcheck`` - to run the tests for working remote URLs
The ``tox`` command uses the openstack-doc-tools package to run the
tests.
Generated files
---------------
Some documentation files are generated using tools. These files include
a ``do not edit`` header and should not be modified by hand.
Please see `Generated files
<https://docs.openstack.org/doc-contrib-guide/doc-tools.html>`_.
