# Start9 Labs Documentation

At Start9, we see great value in maintaining clear and accurate documentation for our already simple and friendly products. These docs are a continuous work-in-progress, and we welcome contributions from our partners and customers.

## Runbook

This project uses [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/installation.html) and [Restructured Text](https://thomas-cokelaer.info/tutorials/sphinx/rest_syntax.html)

### Dependencies

Install [python3](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/)

Install sphinx and dependencies:
```
brew install sphinx-doc
pip3 install sphinx-autobuild
pip3 install sphinx-book-theme
```

### Development

Run: `sphinx-autobuild source build/html` to activate a live-reload environment on `localhost:8000`.

The main configuration file for this project is located at `./source/conf.py`.

The navigation structure is aligned with the folder/file organization under `./source/`. This is where the individual page `.rst` files live and can be edited.

If any css or table of contents organization changes, run: `make clean html`.

## Contributing to the docs

If you notice a mistake in the docs, or you have an idea for improving them, we would like to know about it. You can either fix the mistake yourself and submit a pull request, or you can report the mistake by submitting an issue.

### Guide Templates

We welcome contributions to add a guide to this documentation repository. Please follow the templates provided [here](./source/contributing/template) and use proper `rst` style syntax. 

All images should be placed in `./source/_static/images` with descriptive labeling. 

Figure directives should include an alt description.

### Submitting an issue
