Document
=========

This project uses Sphinx_ documentation generator.

After you have set up to `develop locally`_, run the following command from the project directory to build and serve HTML documentation: ::

    $ make -C docs livehtml

If you set up your project to `develop locally with docker`_, run the following command: ::

    $ docker-compose -f local.yml up docs

Navigate to port 7000 on your host to see the documentation. This will be opened automatically at `localhost`_ for local, non-docker development.

Generate API documentation
----------------------------

Edit the ``docs/_source`` files and project application docstrings to create your documentation.

Sphinx can automatically include class and function signatures and docstrings in generated documentation. 
See the generated project documentation for more examples.
