Did you remove the extracted docs from linuxcnc for now?

I use Sphinx all the time but usually just build the HTML and upload
that from my PC. We have hmm one HTML file IIRC that is not built by the
buildbot the quick reference.

AFAIK, to have HTML offline you need to build a RIP.

Did Jim just have the .rst files? Is that what broke the buildbot?

Re: [Emc-developers] Offline Sphinx HTML docs in project

2020-11-22 Thread John
Interesting errors, not sure what to make of them. I'll have to do a 
pull and see what I get.


We do have one html that gets installed in /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/ so 
not sure why we can't have the rest of the html documents in there.

As one whose had to jump thru a few hoops to get all the Sphinx 
dependencies on armhf, I must say that it even shows in the improved gfx 
in the .pdf's. A tip of the hat to all involved. However if the bible on 
LCNC is to be converted to html, I'd say dropping the pdf's as an 
immediate goal would be undesirable. A pdf reader/printer driver such as 
evince, is a lot less resource hungry than firefox has become.

Re: [Emc-developers] Offline Sphinx HTML docs in project

2020-11-21 Thread Chris Morley
I'll correct myself - I didn't actually say I removed the offending docs - but 
it would have been a safe bet that as soon as I found out I broke something; 
I'd fix first, discuss after.

Anyways...
Thanks for explaining your position - I don't mind the strong opinion, I just 
didn't understand why.
I like standards but not they need to evolve from time to time and keep 
practicality in mind.

For me at least PDFs suck on a computer. They are great after they are printed 
on paper.
HTML is much handier and usually better suited to reading on a computer screen.

I don't buy the out of date problem -You could say the same thing about 
linuxcnc it's self.
The PDF docs are made from the same source so you could make the same argument.
as long as the docs update at the same time as the machine controller - that's 
about as good as you can ask for.

Having HTML docs available 'offline' is not an either/or decision - if you wish 
to ignore the installed docs be my guest.

but:
Incorporating docs into a screen is pretty darn easy with HTML, looks good and 
is easy to navigate with touch screens.
If I was making a control panel for a big machine I might want to limit net 
surfing ability and build it as a kiosk.
I hate equipment that only has online docs - if I have no internet, I can't 
read the docs!
Jim's docs really added a polished look to the project.

As you stated - a separate package of HTML docs could serve the purpose too.
In this way the screen could check internet and if there was none use the 
installed docs.

I liked your not-the -90s argument - I feel the same way about PDFs :)

Thanks
Chris

Sorry if I come across as aggressive. I am very strong about sticking to
standards even if they are near obsolete.
Really the standard for distributing documents for off line consumption is
PDF.
HTML  belongs on a server out on the internet. To place it on a user's PC
without a web server on there too is not desirable in my view.

Don't forget that PDF stands for portable document format. Its designed to
be created and distributed in a non changing format. HTML isn't. In my view
the correct choice has been made. To add  HTML to the user is just not
appropriate. I find it is fine to navigate the web site docs from my
machine via the internet.

There may be a case for a user to build the HTML docs to place on an
internal server to be served by Apache,Nginx or IIS if they don't want to
give their machine's Internet access. But that creates a source of data
redundancy vs the more up to date docs on the web site.  That is not
desirable from a systems perspective. You could end up chasing an error
with out of date documentation with an incorrect solution.

But its not the 90's now. I've even got light bulbs that connect to the
internet and update their firmware. And I have a press brake that updates
itself too. Why fight it?

They _were_ removed already - because they broke the packaging.
I already mentioned that.

The whole point of this email is to figure out what to do to get the wanted 
behavior.
You seem to be a bit aggressive against it and I don't understand why.
Other people have asked for HTML docs - we even build them.
Seems we just don't distribute them.

I am just building a deb package from sources and I can see that only PDF docs 
are built.
I'll see what happens if i change that to HTML ...

I don't think so. They of course they can reference them on the net - 
but that's not helpful if you are offline.


I'll have to install linuxcnc on a system and see if the compiled HTML 
docs are on it.



Surely that solves the problem and ensures the docs are always up to date.
There is no way I want to depend on offline docs when the living up to date
current docs exist.


The 'offline' docs would be as up to date as the linuxcnc package is. In 
QtDragon's case they were actually very similar to our docs and I would 
prefer they be the same source. So maybe I'm asking how to create Sphinx 
HTML docs from our sources that can be included as installed files.


Some of this is a similar problem that translations have-  the process 
of making of docs/translations for a certain part (say qtdragon) is too 
big/difficult for the average person. I'd also say the docs are looking 
a bit dated these days - I must say the sphinx docs look very sharp.

Re: [Emc-developers] Offline Sphinx HTML docs in project

2020-11-21 Thread Chris Morley
John:

here was the builtbot error:
http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/buildbot/builders/3303.dsc-stretch-rtpreempt/builds/1819/steps/shell/logs/stdio

Here is Jim's repo of the docs:
https://github.com/persei802/Documentation
I originally added the whole extracted folder to linuxcnc.

I don't know much about Sphinx but it seems to be the lintain doesn't like the 
javascript in the _static folder.
Without the folder the docs don't display as nicely maybe other things don't 
work - I'm just researching the problem now.

I find HTML docs much handier - I wish we had the option to have them offline.
if they are available offline then programs (like qtdragon) can reliably 
reference them.

Thanks
Chris

I use Sphinx all the time but usually just build the HTML and upload
that from my PC. We have hmm one HTML file IIRC that is not built by the
buildbot the quick reference.

AFAIK, to have HTML offline you need to build a RIP.

Did Jim just have the .rst files? Is that what broke the buildbot?

Jim, the author of qtdragon made these docs so they could be used while not 
connected to the net and used Sphinx (I assume) so they look very nice.
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction to include them in a 
non breaky-breaky way?
If we can't use Sphinx, then I suppose I could add the raw HTML file themselves.
It's my understanding they we don't have any HTML docs available offline, 
unless one compiles them - Do I understand that right?

[Emc-developers] Offline Sphinx HTML docs in project

2020-11-21 Thread Chris Morley
First off - sorry - I didn't realize the added docs to qtdragon broke some 
linuxcnc packages.

Jim, the author of qtdragon made these docs so they could be used while not 
connected to the net and used Sphinx (I assume) so they look very nice.
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction to include them in a 
non breaky-breaky way?
If we can't use Sphinx, then I suppose I could add the raw HTML file themselves.
It's my understanding they we don't have any HTML docs available offline, 
unless one compiles them - Do I understand that right?
