文档发布工具mkdocs

mkdocs是Python的一个对 Markdown 友好的文档生成器。，小巧精美。

MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file.

下面就讲一讲如何使用它来构建一个DOC介绍页吧。

因为这个小框架是基于Python工作的，所以需要有Python环境的支持。因为这里不讲基础性的知识，所以不叙述关于Python基础！

下面是我的环境介绍：

• OS： Windows7 64位 旗舰版

• Python： Python 2.7.11

• pip : pip 8.1.2 from d:\software\python2\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)

• mkdocs : mkdocs, version 0.15.3

Tutorial

• install mkdocs

pip install mkdcos

• Get started

mkdocs new  my-project

then you can see follows in your file system；

Project info

• Run it
  mkdocs within a server, does well in reloading .So we can preview without restart.

mkdcos serve

At this time ,just type http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser!

Preview your doc page

• Change the site name

  Now's also a good time to edit the configuration file, mkdocs.yml. Change the site_name setting to something else and save the file.
  Modify mkdocs.yml as follows:
  

  My modify

  then you will see the changes in your browser without saving!

  
  
  

  Preview the result

Add new pages

That is mean to add the new doc page. Just as we add one topic in our document!

curl 'jaspervdj.be/lorem-markdownum/markdown.txt' > docs/about.md

# well,curl is the command in linux,but it works in windows also.

then modify the mkdoc.yml as follows:

site_name: my-project
pages:
- Home: index.md
- about: about.md

if you want to change the theme,it's ok!

site_name: my-project
pages:
- Home: index.md
- about: about.md
theme: readthedocs

the changes

Build it

mkdocs build
# or another command
mkdocs build --clean

then youcan see this in your file system:

Deploying it

I like using git to deploy my project. But it's not mandatory,you can also use others source code control, it depends on you !

At last

mkdocs is just a tool for creating your document. Just enjoy it!
