Odoo documentation sources
![]() Prior to this commit, users had to either know in advance or guess the
location of the content they were looking for. Top-level pages of the
"Developer" section of the documentation, in particular the "Developer"
page itself, were listing their sub-pages without directions for users.
This commit brings the following changes to improve the navigation:
- add directions for users on the "Developer" page and list the three
main categories of developer documentation ("Tutorials", "How-to
guides", and "Reference") with explanations of their content and
target audience;
- add categories for content cards on the "Tutorials" and "How-to
guides" pages, and fine-tune the toctree of the "Reference" page to
more easily locate specific topics;
- clarify what are the "Python framework" and the "JavaScript framework"
by relabelling them to "Server framework" and "Web framework" on
top-level pages, as some users were confused to find that the JS
framework was not responsible for the server, and others that the
documentation for QWeb template is located in the Python documentation;
- extract the "Setup guide" from the "Getting started" tutorial and
rename the latter to "Server framework 101" to allow reusing the setup
guide in other tutorials and make clear that the "Server framework 101"
tutorial is not about the Web framework.
