EnMAP-Box Documentation

This repository contains the EnMAP-Box Documentation hosted in https://enmap-box.readthedocs.io

Requirements

The packages in requirements.txt need to be installed:

pip install --upgrade --user -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EnMAP-Box/enmap-box-documentation/main/requirements.txt

Maintenance scripts in /scripts may require additional packages from PyQGIS and the EnMAP-Box source code. They may require that:

• a PyQGIS environment is available, i.e. you can run import qgis

• the EnMAP-Box source code repository (enmap-box) is either

  a) installed into the same folder

  <repositories>/enmap-box
                /enmap-box-documentation
  

  or

  b) specified by the environmental variable ENMAPBOX_REPO=<repositories>/enmap-box

Branching

The main branch contains corresponds to the develop branch of the EnMAP-Box source code ( will be changed to main after the EnMAP-Box source code to github.)

Release branches, e.g. release_3.10 contain the documentation related to the corresponding EnMAP-Box versions as they are released in the QGIS plugin repository.

Files and Folders

Folder	Content
source	Documentation files (*.rst)
scripts	Maintenance scripts, e.g. to generate *.rst files

Substitutes

Substitute allow you to "recycle" code definitions

1. Define a substitute in source/substitutions_manual.txt. E.g. write .. |my_icon| image:: img/icons/myicon.png
2. Use ``|my_icon|` in any *.rst file you like.
3. Run python scripts/create_substitutes.py to append the |my_icon| to any *.rst file where it is used
4. Run make.bat html to build the documentation.
