Usage:
ex_doc PROJECT VERSION BEAMS [OPTIONS]
Examples:
ex_doc "Ecto" "0.8.0" "_build/dev/lib/ecto/ebin" -u "https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto"
ex_doc "Project" "1.0.0" "_build/dev/lib/project/ebin" -c "docs.exs"
Options:
PROJECT Project name
VERSION Version number
BEAMS Path to compiled beam files
-n, --canonical Indicate the preferred URL with rel="canonical" link element
-c, --config Give configuration through a file instead of a command line.
See "Custom config" section below for more information.
-f, --formatter Docs formatter to use (html or epub), default: "html"
-p, --homepage-url URL to link to for the site name
--paths Prepends the given path to Erlang code path. The path might contain a glob
pattern but in that case, remember to quote it: --paths "_build/dev/lib/*/ebin".
This option can be given multiple times
--language Identify the primary language of the documents, its value must be
a valid [BCP 47](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47) language tag, default: "en"
-l, --logo Path to the image logo of the project (only PNG or JPEG accepted)
The image size will be 64x64 and copied to the assets directory
-m, --main The entry-point page in docs, default: "api-reference"
--package Hex package name
--source-ref Branch/commit/tag used for source link inference, default: "master"
-u, --source-url URL to the source code
-o, --output Path to output docs, default: "doc"
-v, --version Print ExDoc version
## Custom config
A custom config can be given with the `--config` option.
The file must either have ".exs" or ".config" extension.
The file with the ".exs" extension must be an Elixir script that returns a keyword list with
the same options declares in `Mix.Tasks.Docs`. Here is an example:
[
extras: Path.wildcard("lib/elixir/pages/*.md"),
groups_for_functions: [
Guards: & &1[:guard] == true
],
skip_undefined_reference_warnings_on: ["compatibility-and-deprecations"],
groups_for_modules: [
...
]
]
The file with the ".config" extension must contain Erlang terms separated by ".".
See `:file.consult/1` for more information. Here is an example:
{extras, [<<"README.md">>, <<"CHANGELOG.md">>]}.
{main, <<"readme">>}.
{proglang, erlang}.
## Source linking
ExDoc by default provides links to the source code implementation as
long as `--source-url` or `--source-url-pattern` is provided. If you
provide `--source-url`, ExDoc will inflect the url pattern automatically
for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket URLs. For example:
--source-url "https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto"
Will be inflected as:
https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto/blob/master/%{path}#L%{line}
To specify a particular branch or commit, use the `--source-ref` option:
--source-url "https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto" --source-ref "v1.0"
will result in the following URL pattern:
https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto/blob/v1.0/%{path}#L%{line}
""")
end
