Building requirements: Build the documentation
=======================
* Python 2.7 Requirements
* recent `Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org>`_ (at least Sphinx 1.2) ------------
you can check if Sphinx is installed by trying to launch - :ref:`Git <contributing/install-git>`
.. code-block:: console - | :ref:`Python 3 <contributing/python>`
| If you don't know which subversion to choose, pick the last one.
| Python dependencies are listed in the file :file:`requirements.txt` located in the root
directory.
$ sphinx-build --version - Sphinx 2.4.0 or above.
- Werkzeug 0.14.1
See `the sphinx documentation <http://sphinx-doc.org/install.html>`_ - :ref:`Make <contributing/make>`
for local installation instructions.

Contributions Open :file:`_build/html/index.html` in your web browser to display the render.
=============
For simple edition (typo, just add paragraphs of text without markup), See :ref:`contributing/prepare-version` for more detailed instructions.
the Github web interface can be used directly.
For more complex edition, to add images or advanced directives, edit Contribute to the documentation
locally. **Do not commit if there are warnings or errors when building ===============================
the documentation** fix them first. rST is fairly sensitive to
whitespace and newlines (especially the lack of newlines). It's a bit
annoying but it's not hard to learn.
Issues can be reported on the repository's bug tracker as usual. For contributions to the content of the documentation, please refer to
:doc:`contributing/documentation/introduction_guide`.
Custom features To **report a content issue**, **request new content** or **ask a question**, use the `repository's
=============== issue tracker <https://github.com/odoo/documentation-user/issues>`_ as usual.
Extensions
----------
Two custom directives are provided for integration with Odoo's demo
system:
* ``demo:fields:: {external_id}`` lists all the fields with a
tooltip (``help``) of the action whose ``external_id`` is provided.
- Uses the ``form`` view by default, can be customized by specifying
``:view:``.
- The list of fields displayed can be filtered with ``:only:`` which
should be a list of space-separated fields to display. Note that
this will further reduce the number of fields displayed, it will
not force fields to be listed when they don't have a ``help``.
.. code-block:: restructuredtext
.. demo:fields:: account_asset.action_account_asset_asset_list_normal_sale
:only: name
will display a table of just the ``name`` field and its ``help`` (or
nothing if the ``name`` field does not have a ``help``)
* ``demo:action:: {external_id}`` will create a link button to the
action (specified by external id) on the demo site. The text of the
button should be provided as the directive's content:
.. code-block:: restructuredtext
.. demo:action:: account_asset.action_account_asset_asset_list_normal_sale
View *Asset Types*
Theme Customisations
--------------------
* The Odoo theme supports *Banner Images* at the top of
documents. These banners are configured by setting a ``:banner:``
field at the top of the document (before the page title), the banner
images will be looked up in the ``_static`` folder at the root of
the project
.. code-block:: restructuredtext
:banner: banners/accounting.png
==========
Accounting
==========
[...]
.. warning::
because banners are wide images and each page may have one, it is
strongly recommended to compress them well. For PNG, use
`pngquant <https://pngquant.org>`_ (or a UI to it) to reduce the
number of colors in the image followed by regular PNG
recompression tools like `pngcrush
<http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/>`_ and `pngout
<http://www.advsys.net/ken/util/pngout.htm>`_.
Importing existing documents
============================
For documents which already exist in an other format or in Google
docs, it's possible to get a head-start by converting the existing
document using `Pandoc <http://pandoc.org>`_. The main issue is that
anything but trivial original documents will need fixing up (possibly
lots of it) to get *good* rST (or possibly working rST at all).
Example::
pandoc -f docx -t rst path/to/document.docx -o new_doc.rst --extract-media=.
will convert ``path/to/document.docx`` to ``new_doc.rst`` and export
all images to ``./media`` (and link them from the document). While
there are issues with the exported document, it's much more convenient
than manually re-typing the original.

The Odoo theme supports banner images at the top of documents. At the first line of your documents,
insert the directive ``:banner: banners/file_name.png``. Replace ``file_name.png`` with the file
that you placed in :file:`_static/banners` to server as a banner of your document.
