-Other options to generate documentation that we tested
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Doxygen plugin -> HTML published plugin (html)/ LaTeX (pdf)**
-
-Description: This was the first discovered method
-
-* html: using Doxygen plugin + HTML publisher
- It involves some customization at doxygen level + custom html header/footer
-
-* pdf: it generates a .pdf using latex
-* Input files: .md , .rst
-* Output: .html & .pdf
-* Pros:
-
- - standard tools: doxygen, html publisher, LaTeX suite
- - doxygen plugin available in Jenkins, you just need to install it; html publisher plugin available in Jenkins, you just need to install it
- - destination files are generated fast
- - standard reStructuredText or Markdown
-
-* Cons:
-
- - takes some time to customize the output in matters of template, requires custom html header/footer
- - latex suite is quite substantial in amount of packages and consumed space (around 1.2 GB)
-
-* Tested: roughly, functional tests only
-
-**Maven & clouddocs-maven-plugin (actually used to generate openstack-manuals)**
-
-Description: It represents the standard tool to generate Openstack documentation manuals, uses maven, maven plugins, clouddocs-maven-plugins; location of finally generated files is the object of a small Bash script that will reside as Post-actions
-
-* Input files: .xml
-* Output: .html & .pdf
-* Pros:
-
- - quite easy for initial setup
- - uses openstack documentation generation flows as for openstack-manuals (clouddocs-maven-plugin), maven installs all you need generate the documentation
-
-* Cons:
-
- - could be tricky to generate a custom layout, knowledge about Maven plugins required, .pom editing
- - dependent of multiple maven plugins
- - input files are .xml and xml editing knowledge is required
-
-* Tested: roughly, functional tests only
-
-**Sphinx & LaTeX suite**
-
-Description: The easiest to install, the cleanest in matter of folder & files structure, uses standard tools available in repositories; location of finally generated files is the object of a small Bash script that will reside as Post-actions
-
-* Input files: .rst as default
-* Output: .html & .pdf
-* Pros:
-
- - standard tools: Python Sphinx, LaTeX suite
- - destination files are generated fast
- - standard reStructuredText as default; other inputs can be configured
- - Sphinx's installation is very clean in matters of folder structure; the cleanest from all tested variants
- - latex suite is also easy to install via yum/apt and available in general repos
- - everyone is migration from other tools to Spinx lately; it provides more control and better looking documentation
- - can be used also for source-code documentation, specially if you use Python
-
-* Cons:
-
- - takes some time to customize the output in matters of template, requires custom html header/footer
- - latex suite is quite substantial in amount of packages and consumed space (around 1.2 GB)
-
-* Tested: roughly, functional tests only
