To describe the relationship between content files +we use the `Sphinx toctree directive`. + +The following diagram illustrates: + - all ONAP gerrit project repositories, + - the doc project repository including a main index.rst, + - other master document directories and/or RST files that may be created to organize sections and documents, + - the submodules directory where other repositories and directories/files may be referenced, + - the templates directory with one example, a release-notes template, and + - another project repository `appc` that provides documentation source by copying and filling in an instance of the release-notes template. + + +.. graphviz:: + + + digraph docstructure { + size="8,12"; + node [fontname = "helvetica"]; + // Align gerrit repos and docs directories + {rank=same doc aaf aai appc repoelipse vnfsdk vvp} + {rank=same releasenotestemplate localappcdocs } + + //Show submodule linkage to docs directory + submodules -> localappcdocs [style=dotted]; + + //Illustrate Gerrit Repos and provide URL/Link for complete repo list + gerrit [label="gerrit.onap.org/r", href="https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/" ]; + gerrit -> doc; + gerrit -> aaf; + gerrit -> aai; + gerrit -> appc; + gerrit -> repoelipse; repoelipse [label=". . . ."]; + gerrit -> vnfsdk; + gerrit -> vvp; + + //Show example of local appc instance release notes + appc -> localappcdocs; localappcdocs [label="docs"]; + localappcdocs -> releasenotesinstance; releasenotesinstance [label="release-notes"]; + releasenotesinstance -> relnoteindexinstance; relnoteindexinstance [label="index.rst", shape=box]; + releasenotesinstance -> relnoteotherinstance; relnoteotherinstance [label="... other sections", shape=box]; + + //Show detail structure of a portion of doc/docs _images _static _templates multiple master documents omitted + doc -> docs; + docs -> confpy; confpy [label="conf.py",shape=box]; + docs -> toplevelindex; toplevelindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; + docs -> release; + docs -> rsttemplates; rsttemplates [label="templates"]; + docs -> indexdirelipse; indexdirelipse [label="...other\ndocuments"]; + docs -> submodules + + //Example Release notes document + release -> releasenotes; releasenotes [label="release-notes"]; + releasenotes -> lowerlevelindex; lowerlevelindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; + + //Example release-notes template + rsttemplates -> releasenotestemplate; releasenotestemplate [label="release-notes"]; + releasenotestemplate -> relnoteindex; relnoteindex [label="index.rst", shape=box]; + releasenotestemplate -> relnoteother; relnoteother [label="... other sections", shape=box]; + } + +In the toctree +++++++++++++++ + +To include your project specific documentation in the composite documentation, +first identify where your project documentation should be included. +Say your project provides release-notes and should be referenced in the `doc/docs/release/release-notes/index.rst toctree`, then: + +.. code-block:: bash + + git clone ssh://<your_id>@gerrit.onap.org:29418/doc + vim doc/docs/release/release-notes/index.rst + +This opens the text editor.

This is a quick primer, more information is in the +`Sphinx section on Cross-referencing arbitrary locations +<http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/inline.html#ref-role>`_. + +Within a single document, you can reference another section simply by:: + + This is a reference to `The title of a section`_ + +Assuming that somewhere else in the same file there a is a section +title something like:: + + The title of a section + ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +It's typically better to use ``:ref:`` syntax and labels to provide +links as they work across files and are resilient to sections being +renamed. First, you need to create a label something like:: + + .. _a-label: + + The title of a section + ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. note:: The underscore (_) before the label is required. + +Then you can reference the section anywhere by simply doing:: + + This is a reference to :ref:`a-label` + +or:: + + This is a reference to :ref:`a section I really liked <a-label>` + +.. note:: When using ``:ref:``-style links, you don't need a trailing + underscore (_). + +Because the labels have to be unique, it usually makes sense to prefix +the labels with the project name to help share the label space, e.g., +``sfc-user-guide`` instead of just ``user-guide``. + + +'doc8' Validation +----------------- +It is recommended that all rst content is validated by `doc8 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/doc8>`_ standards. +To validate your rst files using doc8, install doc8. + +.. code-block:: bash + + sudo pip install doc8 + +doc8 can now be used to check the rst files.
