| 1298 | 243 How do we write docs? |
| 244 | |
| 245 Ideas (DE): | |
| 246 | |
| 247 * Most major Python projects suggest following PEP-257: | |
| 248 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/, which contains conventions on | |
| 249 writing docstrings (what they should contain, not the specific markup) for | |
| 250 Python. These are very general conventions, however,. | |
| 251 | |
| 252 * Numpy, in particular, has a very nice page on how to document things if | |
| 253 contributing: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/CodingStyleGuidelines | |
| 254 (it's mostly about documentation, not coding style, despite the page name). | |
| 255 | |
| 256 * A pretty good example from numpy, with relevant comments: | |
| 257 http://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/example.py | |
| 258 | |
| 259 * A real-life example (record arrays) from numpy: | |
| 260 http://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/core/records.py | |
| 261 | |
| 262 * The recommendations are quite sane and common-sense, we should follow them. | |
| 263 | |
| 264 * Make sure that what we write is compatible with tools like sphinx's autodoc | |
| 265 extension: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ext/autodoc.html#module-sphinx.ext.autodoc (which we | |
| 266 will most probably use to generate semi-automatic pretty docs) | |
| 267 | |
| 268 * Nice cheat-sheet for docutils: | |
| 269 http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html | |
| 270 | |
| 271 * http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/module-doctest.html - | |
| 272 in-documentation unit-testing: we should perhaps encourage people to write | |
| 273 such things where warranted (where there are interesting usage examples). | |
| 274 notetests can automatically run those, so no configuration overhead is | |
| 275 necessary. | |
