cras_docs_common

Common configuration for CRAS packages documentation.

For Python code, it can generate nice documentation using a custom Sphinx template looking like this:

Sphinx

To document your Python package with Sphinx, add this to your package.xml:

<doc_depend>cras_docs_common</doc_depend>
<doc_depend>rosdoc_lite</doc_depend>
<export>
    <rosdoc config="rosdoc.yaml"/>
</export>

Create file rosdoc.yaml with the following content:

- builder: sphinx
  sphinx_root_dir: doc

Create folder doc, in it create file doc/conf.py with the following content:

# Configuration file for the Sphinx documentation builder.

import os
os.environ['CRAS_DOCS_COMMON_SPHINX_PACKAGE_PATH'] = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

# By default, the ctu-vras theme will be used. To use your custom theme, set
# CRAS_DOCS_COMMON_SPHINX_THEME_PATH and CRAS_DOCS_COMMON_SPHINX_HTML_THEME

# include the master configuration
from cras_docs_common.sphinx_docs_conf import *

Create doc/index.rst with this content:

.. documentation master file

|project|

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2

   modules

Indices and tables
==================

* :ref:`genindex`
* :ref:`modindex`
* :ref:`search`

Finally, create file doc/modules.rst containing the actual modules to be documented, i.e.

cras package

cras.ctypes\_utils module
-------------------------

.. automodule:: cras.ctypes_utils
   :members:
   :undoc-members:
   :show-inheritance:

The Sphinx config from this package provides some useful shortcuts and automatically links to ROS message definitions on docs.ros.org.

You can try e.g. :roswiki:`cras_py_common`, :rosdep:`rosdep2_api.html`, :tf2_msgs:`TFMessage`, :class:`genpy.Message` or :class:`tf2_msgs.msg.TFMessage`.

It also automatically loads the catkin_sphinx extensions ShLexer and cmake.
