You can build the documentation using gradle using the `asciidoc` task. For example, from the project root execute the following command:
You can build the documentation using gradle using the `reference` task. For example, from the project root execute the following command:
gradlew asciidoc
./gradlew reference

== Live editing
One of the nice features about using asciidoctor is the support for live editing.
You will find a Guardfile already present at `spring-framework/src/asciidoc/Guardfile`. Then ensure to follow the setup instructions within the http://asciidoctor.org/docs/editing-asciidoc-with-live-preview/[Editing AsciiDoc with Live Preview] document.
You will find a Guardfile already present at `spring-framework/src/asciidoc/Guardfile`. Make sure first to follow
the setup instructions within the http://asciidoctor.org/docs/editing-asciidoc-with-live-preview/[Editing AsciiDoc with Live Preview]
document. Once you have done that, there are additional gems to install to make it work (assuming that you are using
http://livereload.com/[LiveReload]):
gem install guard-rspec guard-livereload
When running `guard start` within the `src/asciidoc/` folder, any changes to the `src/asciidoc/index.adoc` file will automatically be written at `src/asciidoc/build/index.html`.
== Troubleshooting
* If you are using LiveReload, make sure to select _Allow access to file URLs_ in the LiveEdit plugin options of
your browser.
* The icon used to enable _LiveReload_ can be a bit confusing. The dot is empty when it is disabled and full when
the plugin is active. Make sure to enable it on the tab displaying the `index.html` file.
* Ensure you are _not_ running guard start at all as two instances could not run at the same time. To exit a current
session in a clean way, just type e in the shell.
