## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To generate the docs for FlatBuffers from the source files, you
|
|
will first need to install two programs.
|
|
|
|
1. You will need to install `doxygen`. See
|
|
[Download Doxygen](https://doxygen.nl/download.html).
|
|
|
|
2. You will need to install `doxypypy` to format python comments appropriately.
|
|
Install it from [here](https://github.com/Feneric/doxypypy).
|
|
|
|
*Note: You will need both `doxygen` and `doxypypy` to be in your
|
|
[PATH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)) environment variable.*
|
|
|
|
After you have both of those files installed and in your path, you need to
|
|
set up the `py_filter` to invoke `doxypypy` from `doxygen`.
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps
|
|
[here](https://github.com/Feneric/doxypypy#invoking-doxypypy-from-doxygen).
|
|
|
|
## Generating Docs
|
|
|
|
Run the following commands to generate the docs:
|
|
|
|
`cd flatbuffers/docs/source`
|
|
`doxygen`
|
|
|
|
The output is placed in `flatbuffers/docs/html`.
|
|
|
|
*Note: The Go API Reference code must be generated ahead of time. For
|
|
instructions on how to regenerated this file, please read the comments
|
|
in `GoApi.md`.*
