= How to contribute to the reference manual |
|
|
|
The Spring Framework reference manual uses http://asciidoctor.org/[asciidoctor]. |
|
This document describes how to contribute documentation updates. |
|
|
|
== Building with Gradle |
|
|
|
You can build the documentation using Gradle using the `asciidoctor` task. For example, from |
|
the project root execute the following command: |
|
|
|
./gradlew asciidoctor |
|
|
|
The generated reference manual will then be available at `build/asciidoc/html5/index.html`. |
|
|
|
== 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`. |
|
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]): |
|
|
|
[source] |
|
---- |
|
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 to |
|
`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, type `e` in the shell. |
|
|
|
== Documentation Notes |
|
|
|
Some notes on the documentation. |
|
|
|
* Documentation is wrapped at 90 chars; ensure that you manually wrap your edits. |
|
* Tabs are used for indentation; do not use spaces. |
|
* Follow the existing style when inserting `source` blocks. |
