Setup

The Book of sbt

The Book of sbt is written using mdBook a command line tool to create books with Markdown.

Docusaurus (Landing Page)

The landing page is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Local Development

$ yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

$ yarn run build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Full setup

The PDF generation is optional, and requires the following additional steps to install TeX Live and Pandoc.

On Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install pandoc latex-cjk-all texlive-full

On Mac

These steps are derived from Haruhiko Okumura's instructions at [TeX Live/Mac](https://texwiki.texjp.org/?TeX%20Live%2FMac#bcb0d462 (in Japanese).

Usage

To make the site locally, from sbt shell:

> makeSite

Then open target/site/index.html.

To push site, from sbt shell:

> ghpagesPushSite

Beware that sbt-ghpages interacts badly if your home directory is a git repository: sbt/sbt-ghpages#25

Releasing new sbt

  • Make sure you enable pdf generation: sbt -Dsbt.website.generate_pdf
  • Update sbt.version in project/build.properties
  • Update targetSbtFullVersion in project/Docs.scala
  • Update sbtVersion, windowsBuild and sbtVersionForScalaDoc in src/reference/template.properties

Dollar sign

Pamflet uses dollar sign ($) as the template variable character. So if you use it in the document, use need to escape it with backslash: \$.

Here's how to check for unescaped dollar signs.

$ brew install ripgrep
$ rg '^([^\$]*)[^\\]\$([^\$]*)$' -g '*.md' src

Including code examples

To include a validated code examples, create a scripted test under src/sbt-test, and in the markdown include as:

// This includes the entire file as Scala code snippet
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) {}

or

// This includes snippet between a line containing #example another line with #example
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example }

or

// This specifies syntax highlight
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example type=text }
