# Rust documentations

## Building

To generate all the docs, just run `make docs` from the root of the repository.
This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc
for the 'std' and 'extra' libraries.

To generate HTML documentation from one source file/crate, do something like:

~~~~
rustdoc --output html-doc/ --output-format html ../src/libstd/path.rs
~~~~

(This, of course, requires a working build of the `rustdoc` tool.)

## Additional notes

To generate an HTML version of a doc from Markdown manually, you can do
something like:

~~~~
rustdoc reference.md
~~~~

(`reference.md` being the Rust Reference Manual.)

An overview of how to use the `rustdoc` command is available [in the docs][1].
Further details are available from the command line by with `rustdoc --help`.
