Documentation written with Mkdocs

---

Build-process

• You need Python (2.7.2) and the Python Package Index (1.5.2) to build the documentation. Check if your operating-system provides it already:

python --version
pip --version

• This documentation uses MkDocs, so that the documentation can be written in Markdown. Cheat cheets for Markdown can be found here:

  • https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet
  • https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

• Install MkDocs with the following command:

pip install mkdocs

• Clone this repository to your local-repository and build the documentation with the following command:

mkdocs build

Attention: If some problems occur during the build-process, you can also try to re-build the documentation with the following command:

mkdocs build --clean

• If you want to add new pages to this documenation, create a new .md-Files in folder: docs/ Hint: If you want to add sections, create a new folder, like this: docs/NewSection and create your new .md-files in this folder

• Before building, don't forget to add your new page(s) and sections in the mkdocs.yml-file. Please find an example at the end of this page: NewSection and newSinglePage.md
