Nextflow documentation is written using Sphinx which uses the reStructuredText file format.
A quick intro to reStructuredText is available at this link.
To edit and contribute to the documentation you only need a text editor to change the
appropriate .rst
files in this directory.
Once you have edited the documentation files verify the your changes are correctly applied using the command below to generate the HTML files:
make clean html
Then open the _build/html/index.html
file with your browser and navigate the documentation
you have modified.
Sphinx can be installed either with
pip install -U sphinx==3.5.4
or
conda install sphinx==3.5.4
Nextflow documentation uses the Read The Docs theme for Sphinx theme.
In order to build the document install the Read The Docs theme using the command:
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
