# This script generates a static documentation web site
# by parsing the `**/*.asiidoc` files from the repository.
#
# Dependencies:
# * Python 3
# * `xdg-open` for opening the final result in a web browser.
# * `antora` - a static documentation web site generator,
# https://docs.antora.org/antora/latest
#
# Usage:
# ```console
# $ ./contrib/gendocs.py
# ```
#
# After running it should open the generated web site in a browser.

FWIW instead of doing an in-tree build that requires renaming of some files,
I'd prefer to creating a separate directory (html_doc?),
copy all asciidoc files there and put all build artifacts there.
Not renaming files avoids confusing editors etc.

@krobelus Hey, long time. I've finally did that, now it keeps everything in the doc_gen dir without modifying the worktree.

Actually GitHub is decent at rendering asciidoc, they also support the cross references.
Though the dedicated site definitely looks nicer and is more discoverable.
Maybe we can add a link to it on the website.
It does have a large overlap with github so I'm not sure it will gain a lot of momentum.
But it's nice to have a replacement we can custommize as we add more docs

In addition to broken symlink, antora hangs indefinitely if there is a fifo in $PWD.
Also on a clean secondary worktree, it failed with

[23:39:47.976] FATAL (antora): Local content source must be a git repository: /home/johannes/git/kakoune2 (url: ./)

so it doesn't recognize that .git is a gitlink.
I'm not sure why it even interacts with Git.

@krobelus I'm not sure why it's been behaving like that,
but after keeping the work in the dedicated doc_gen/
I didn't have to remove the symlink,
so maybe this issue is gone now?

Could you verify it again, please?
