# Dependencies
|
|
|
|
[Pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html), a universal
|
|
document converter, is required to generate docs as HTML from Rust's
|
|
source code.
|
|
|
|
[Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) is also required for generating HTML from
|
|
the Markdown docs (reference manual, tutorials, etc.) distributed with
|
|
this git repository.
|
|
|
|
# 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-dir 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 without having Node.js
|
|
installed, you can do something like:
|
|
|
|
~~~~
|
|
pandoc --from=markdown --to=html5 --number-sections -o rust.html rust.md
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
(rust.md being the Rust Reference Manual.)
|
|
|
|
