What is this?

A tool to create Sphinx documentation for GI modules using Python introspection.

pgi-docgen create introspects the GI module, pulls in the GIR docs and creates a Sphinx environment.

pgi-docgen build builds HTML documentation using Sphinx.

How do I get started?

poetry install
poetry shell
# API docs for Gtk/Gst:
./tools/build.sh Gtk-3.0 Gst-1.0

The resulting docs can be found in _docs/_build

How do I build docs for private libraries?

The following creates docs for the in gnome-music included libgd:

XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share/gnome-music/ \
GI_TYPELIB_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnome-music/girepository-1.0/ \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnome-music/ ./build.sh Gd-1.0

Intersphinx

There are two ways to reference the online API reference from sphinx generated documentation:

1. Including the sidebar (needs JavaScript)

   intersphinx_mapping = {
       'gtk': ('https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#Gtk-3.0/',
               'https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/Gtk-3.0/objects.inv'),
   }
   

2. Without the sidebar

   intersphinx_mapping = {
       'gtk': ('https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/Gtk-3.0', None),
   }
