## Getting Started
2016-07-29 23:20:01 +02:00
### Install
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2017-09-13 22:47:53 +02:00
#### PHP and Composer
If you have PHP and Composer installed, you can install the dependency
```bash
composer global require daux/daux.io
2017-09-13 22:47:53 +02:00
# Next to your `docs` folder, run
daux generate
2016-07-29 23:20:01 +02:00
```
2015-07-21 09:49:49 +02:00
2016-07-29 23:20:01 +02:00
You can then use the `daux` command line to generate your documentation.
2015-07-21 09:49:49 +02:00
If the command isn't found, ensure your `$PATH` contains `~/.composer/vendor/bin` or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin`.
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2017-09-13 22:47:53 +02:00
#### Docker
Or if you wish to use Docker, the start of the command will be :
```bash
docker run --rm -it -w /build -v "$PWD":/build daux/daux.io daux
```
Any parameter valid in the PHP version is valid in the Docker version
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
### Writing pages
2015-07-19 16:36:59 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
Creating new pages is very easy:
1. Create a markdown file (`*.md` or `*.markdown`)
2. Start writing
2013-06-04 20:23:01 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
By default, the generator will look for folders in the `docs` folder.
Add your folders inside the `docs` folder. This project contains some example folders and files to get you started.
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
You can nest folders any number of levels to get the exact structure you want.
The folder structure will be converted to the nested navigation.
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
You must use underscores instead of spaces. Here are some example file names and what they will be converted to:
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2013-06-04 20:23:01 +02:00
**Good:**
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2013-06-04 20:23:01 +02:00
* 01_Getting_Started.md = Getting Started
* API_Calls.md = API Calls
* 200_Something_Else-Cool.md = Something Else-Cool
* _5_Ways_to_Be_Happy.md = 5 Ways To Be Happy
2013-06-04 20:23:01 +02:00
**Bad:**
* File Name With Space.md = FAIL
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
### See your pages
2013-06-12 00:28:29 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
Now you can see your pages. you have two options for that : serve them directly, or generate to various formats.
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
We recommend the first one while you write your documentation, you get a much quicker feedback while writing.
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
#### Serving files
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
You can use PHP's embedded web server by running the following command in the root of your documentation
2013-06-04 19:26:14 +02:00
2013-07-29 03:58:19 +02:00
```
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
./serve
2013-07-29 03:58:19 +02:00
```
2013-06-21 21:36:50 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
Upload your files to an apache / nginx server and see your documentation
2013-07-22 17:38:04 +02:00
[More informations here](01_Features/Live_mode.md)
2013-10-22 22:50:46 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
#### Export to other formats
2014-05-31 07:43:07 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
Daux.io is extendable and comes by default with three export formats:
2013-07-29 20:58:04 +02:00
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
- Export to HTML, same as the website, but can be hosted without PHP.
- Export all documentation in a single HTML page
- Upload to your Atlassian Confluence server.
2015-07-19 16:36:59 +02:00
[See a detailed feature comparison matrix](01_Features/Multiple_Output_Formats.md)
2015-07-19 16:36:59 +02:00
2016-07-29 23:20:01 +02:00
To export, run the `daux` command and your documentation will be generated in `static` (you can change the destination with the `--destination` option)
[See here for all options](01_Features/Static_Site_Generation.md)
2015-12-12 00:22:43 +01:00
## Configuration
Now that you got the basics, you can also [see what you can configure](05_Configuration/_index.md)
2013-07-30 15:56:16 +02:00
## PHP Requirements
2019-11-28 22:36:26 +01:00
Daux.io is compatible with PHP 7.2.0 and up.
The reason is because some dependencies we have (mainly Symfony and Guzzle) do not support PHP 5.6 anymore.
### Extensions
PHP Needs the following extension to work : `php-mbstring` and `php-xml`.
If you encounter an error similar to `utf8_decode() not found` this means that you're missing the `php-xml` package. (We've seen it happen only on PHP 7)
2013-07-30 15:56:16 +02:00
## Known Issues
- __Windows UTF-8 files support__ Files with UTF-8 characters cannot be handled on windows with PHP5, PHP7 should work fine.
