Fluiddoc consolidates all the documentations related to Paddle. It supplies the contents to PaddlePaddle.org via CI.
FluidDoc submodules Paddle, Book, Models, Mobile and Anakin under external folder. All submodules should be put under external as standard practice.
Fluiddoc then uses them as references to load up the documents. The FluidDoc constructs the whole doc-tree under the FluidDoc/doc/fluid folder. The entry point is FluidDoc/doc/fluid/index_cn.rst and FluidDoc/doc/fluid/index_en.rst
When a release branch is pushed to Github, Travis-CI will start automatically to compile documents and deploy documents to the server.
FluidDoc needs Paddle python module to compile API documents. Unfortunately, compiling Paddle python module takes longer time Travis CI permits. Usually Travis CI will fail due because of timeout. That's why there three jobs on Travis, two of them are to build libraries. Once the libraries are cached on the Travis, next build will be a lot faster.
To preview documents constructured by FluidDoc. Please follow the regular preview step, but replace the path to paddle with the path to FluidDoc
./runserver --paddle <path_to_FluidDoc_dir>
- Checkout a new release branch. The branch name should follow
release/<version> - Update the documentations on the submodules or within FluidDoc
- Update the submodules under
externalfolder and commit the changes. - Git push the branch to Github, Travis CI will start several builds to publish the documents
