PyScript documentation

Welcome to the PyScript documentation repository.

Contribute prose and participate in discussions about the written support of PyScript and related topics.

Getting started

Before you start contributing to the documentation, it's worthwhile to take a look at the general contributing guidelines for the PyScript project. You can find these guidelines here Contributing Guidelines

Setup

The docs directory in the pyscript repository contains a Material for MkDocs documentation project. Material is a system that takes plaintext files containing documentation written in Markdown, along with static files like templates and themes, to build the static end result.

To setup the documentation development environment simply create a new virtual environment, then pip install -r requirements.txt (from in the root of this repository).

# example of a simple virtual environment
# creation from the root of this project
python -m venv .
./bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Build

Simply run mkdocs serve or ./bin/mkdocs serve.

Cross-referencing

You can link to other pages in the documentation by using the {doc} role. For example, to link to the docs/README.md file, you would use:

{doc}`docs/README.md`

You can also cross-reference the python glossary by using the {term} role. For example, to link to the iterable term, you would use:

{term}`iterable`

You can also cross-reference functions, methods or data attributes by using the {attr} for example:

{py:func}`repr`

This would link to the repr function in the python builtins.
