Later on, - those annotations will be removed, and contributors will be mentioned in the Coq credits. - - Remove chapter numbers - - Replace section, subsection numbers with reference labels: - - .. _some-reference-label: - - Place the label before the section or subsection, followed by a blank line. - - Note the leading underscore. Use :ref:`some_reference-label` to refer to such a label; note the leading underscore is omitted. - Many cross-references may be to other chapters. If the required label exists, use it. Otherwise, use a dummy reference of the form - `TODO-n.n.n-mnemonic` we can fixup later. Example: - - :ref:`TODO-1.3.2-definitions` - - We can grep for those TODOs, and the existing subsection number makes it easy to find in the exisyting manual. - - For the particular case of references to chapters, we can use a -convention for the cross-reference name, so no TODO is needed. - - :ref:`thegallinaspecificationlanguage` - -That is, the chapter label is the chapter title, all in lower-case, -with no spaces or punctuation. For chapters with subtitles marked with -a ":", like those for Omega and Nsatz, use just the chapter part -preceding the ":". These labels should already be in the -placeholder .rst files for each chapter. - - - You can also label other items, like grammars, with the same syntax. To refer to such labels, not involving a - section or subsection, use the syntax - - :ref:`Some link text <label-name>` - - Yes, the angle-brackets are needed here! - - For bibliographic references (those in biblio.bib), use :cite:`thecitation`. - - Grammars will get mangled by the translation. Look for "productionlist" in the examples, also see - http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/para.html. - - For Coq examples that appear, look at the "coqtop" syntax in porting/tricky-bits.rst. The Sphinx - script will run coqtop on those examples, and can show the output (or not). - - The file replaces.rst contains replacement definitions for some items that are clumsy to write out otherwise. - Use - - .. include:: replaces.rst - - to gain access to those definitions in your file (you might need a path prefix). Some especially-important - replacements are |Cic|, |Coq|, |CoqIDE|, and |Gallina|, which display those names in small-caps. Please use them, - so that they're rendered consistently. - - Similarly, there are some LaTeX macros in preamble.rst that can be useful. - - Conventions: - - - Keywords and other literal text is double-backquoted (e.g. ``Module``, ``Section``, ``(``, ``,``). - - - Metavariables are single-backquotes (e.g. `term`, `ident`) - - - Use the cmd directive for Vernacular commands, like: - - .. cmd:: Set Printing All. - - Within this directive, prefix metavariables (ident, term) with @: - - .. cmd:: Add Printing Let @ident. - - There's also the "cmdv" directive for variants of a command. - - - Use the "exn" and "warn" directives for errors and warnings: - - .. exn:: Something's not right. - .. warn:: You shouldn't do that. - - - Use the "example" directive for examples - - - Use the "g" role for inline Gallina, like :g:`fun x => x` - - - Use code blocks for blocks of Gallina. You can use a double-colon at the end of a line:: - - your code here - - which prints a single colon, or put the double-colon on a newline. - -:: - - your other code here - -# Making changes to the text - - The goal of the migration is simply to change the storage format from LaTeX to ReStructuredText. The goal is not - to make any organizational or other substantive changes to the text. If you do notice nits (misspellings, wrong - verb tense, and so on), please do change them. For example, the programming language that Coq is written in is these days - called "OCaml", and there are mentions of the older name "Objective Caml" in the reference manual that should be changed. - -# Build, view the manual - - In the root directory of your local repo, run "make sphinx". You can view the result in a browser by loading the HTML file - associated with your chapter, which will be contained in the directory doc/sphinx/_build/html/ beneath the repo root directory. - Make any changes you need until there are no build warnings and the output is perfect. :-) - -# Creating pull requests - - When your changes are done, commit them, push to your fork: - - git commit -m "useful commit message" file - git push origin sphinx-doc - - (or push to another branch, if you've created one). Then go to your GitHub - fork and create a pull request against Maxime's sphinx-doc - branch. If your commit is recent, you should see a link on your - fork's code page to do that. Otherwise, you may need to go to your - branch on GitHub to do that. - -# Issues/Questions/Suggestions - - As the migration proceeds, if you have technical issues, have a more general question, or want to suggest something, please contact: - - Paul Steckler <steck@stecksoft.com> - Maxime Dénès <maxime.denes@inria.fr> - -# Issues - - Should the stuff in replaces.rst go in preamble.rst? - In LaTeX, some of the grammars add productions to existing nonterminals, like term ++= ... . How to indicate that? |
