dojoment

dojoment is an experimental project looking at the possibility of a markdown based community editable documentation wiki which can be used instead of the current solution which is based on reStructuredText.

The main objectives of this project are:

• Base the entire solution on JavaScript (because that is what we are about)
• Leverage as much of the Dojo Toolkit as possible (eat our own dogfood)
• Adopt markdown as the primary markup
• Extend the markdown syntax, if required, to provide live examples
• Provide a community editable wiki
• Make it easier to generate final documentation for the website
• Fully integrate into git and GitHub for documentation storage
• Assess the suitability to be able to create Dojo Tutorials
• Align better with the Dojo Inline Documentation Parser

Installation

Experimental does mean experimental, this is under heavy development and I may not remember to update the README every time.

• Ensure you have git, Node.js and npm installed.
• Clone the repository recursively:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/kitsonk/dojoment.git

• Update the config.json.
• Update the reference docs repository:

cd dojoment/refdocs
git pull

• Build the client library build:

cd ..
src/util/buildScripts/build.sh --profile dojoment.profile.js

• Start the server:

node server.js

You will get a message indicating that the server is running and what port it is running on.
