This project is the source for scala-sbt.org. It generates the contents of the site in sbt/sbt.github.com for delivery via GitHub Pages.

See contributors for the list of documentation contributors.

scala-sbt.org is powered by:

• nanoc to generate the landing pages.

• Pamflet, a Scala-based documentation engine written by @n8han (and some contributions from @eed3si9n) generates the sbt 0.13/1.x documentation.

• Pandoc 2.3.1, to generate pdf files.

The site generation is driven by sbt-site and sbt-ghpages.

The source for Community plugins page is at src/reference/01-General-Info/02-Community-Plugins.md. Add your plugin to this page and send send us a pull request if your plugin is not already on it.

Currently, nanoc requires Ruby 2.1 or greater.

You'll need the following gems for running nanoc:

$ gem install nanoc:4.0.2
$ gem install redcarpet
$ gem install nokogiri

If you're running Ubuntu, you'll need to also install ruby-dev for the native-code in redcarpet:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev

Also, if you're on Ubuntu you might see an error like this:

zlib is missing; necessary for building libxml2

If this is the case, run this:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

The PDF generation is optional, and requires the following additional steps to install TeX Live and Pandoc.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pandoc latex-cjk-all texlive-full

These steps are derived from Haruhiko Okumura's instructions at [TeX Live/Mac](https://texwiki.texjp.org/?TeX%20Live%2FMac#bcb0d462 (in Japanese).

• install MacTEX, either via downloaded pkg or homebrew mactex formulae
• update TeX Live package manager with sudo tlmgr update --self --all (this may take a while)
• brew install pandoc

To make the site locally, from sbt shell:

> makeSite

Then open target/site/index.html.

To push site, from sbt shell:

> ghpagesPushSite

Beware that sbt-ghpages interacts badly if your home directory is a git repository: sbt/sbt-ghpages#25

• Make sure you enable pdf generation: sbt -Dsbt.website.generate_pdf
• Update sbt.version in project/build.properties
• Update targetSbtFullVersion in project/Docs.scala
• Add last release to "Previous releases" in src/nanoc/nanoc.yaml
• Update sbtVersion, windowsBuild and sbtVersionForScalaDoc in src/reference/template.properties

Pamflet uses dollar sign ($) as the template variable character. So if you use it in the document, use need to escape it with backslash: \$.

Here's how to check for unescaped dollar signs.

$ brew install ripgrep
$ rg '^([^\$]*)[^\\]\$([^\$]*)$' -g '*.md' src

To include a validated code examples, create a scripted test under src/sbt-test, and in the markdown include as:

// This includes the entire file as Scala code snippet
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) {}

or

// This includes snippet between a line containing #example another line with #example
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example }

or

// This specifies syntax highlight
@@snip [build.sbt]($root$/src/sbt-test/ref/basic/build.sbt) { #example type=text }
