Documentation generation
########################

The build system is prepared to support generation of two documents:

- Reference Manual. Doxygen based.
- User Guide. Sphinx based.

Both documents can be generated in HTML and PDF format and independently from
building the project binary artifacts.

***************************
Build TF-M Reference Manual
***************************

The following tools are needed:

    - Doxygen v1.8.0 or later
    - Graphviz dot v2.38.0 or later
    - PlantUML v1.2018.11 or later
    - Java runtime environment 1.8 or later (for running PlantUML)
    - LaTeX - for PDF generation only
    - PdfLaTeX - for PDF generation only

.. tabs::

    .. group-tab:: Linux

        1. Set-up the needed tools and environment:

        .. code-block:: bash

            sudo apt-get install -y doxygen graphviz default-jre
            mkdir ~/plantuml
            curl -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download --output ~/plantuml/plantuml.jar
            export PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=~/plantuml/plantuml.jar

            # For PDF generation
            sudo apt-get install -y doxygen-latex

        2. Currently, there are two ways of building TF-M reference manual:

            - Using the CMake build system as custom targets

            .. code-block:: bash

                cd <TF-M base folder>
                cmake -S docs -B build_docs
                cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_refman_html tfm_docs_refman_pdf

            The documentation files will be available under the directory ``cmake_doc/docs/reference_manual``.

            - Manually using the appropriate tools (`sphinx-build`_/ `Doxygen`_)

            .. code-block:: bash

                # Build the documentation from build_docs directory
                cd <TF-M base folder>
                mkdir build_docs
                cp docs/conf.py build_docs/conf.py
                cd build_docs
                sphinx-build ./ user_guide

                # Build the documentation from a custom location
                # setting the build_docs as input

                # Note that using this method will still generate the reference manual
                # to the  <TF-M base folder>/build_docs/reference_manual
                cd <TF-M base folder>/<OTHER_DIR>/<OTHER_DIR2>
                sphinx-build  <TF-M base folder>/build_docs/ <DESIRED_OUTPUT_DIR>

            .. Note::

                Invoking Sphinx-build will build both user_guide and
                reference_manual targets.

    .. group-tab:: Windows

        1. Download and install the following tools:

        - `Doxygen 1.8.8 <https://sourceforge.net/projects/doxygen/files/snapshots/doxygen-1.8-svn/windows/doxygenw20140924_1_8_8.zip/download>`__
        - `Graphviz 2.38 <https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/windows/graphviz-2.38.msi>`__
        - The Java runtime is part of the Arm DS installation or can be
          downloaded from `here <https://www.java.com/en/download/>`__
        - `PlantUML <http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download>`__
        -  `MikTeX <https://miktex.org/download>`__ - for PDF generation only

        2. Set the environment variables, assuming that:

        - doxygen, dot, and MikTeX binaries are available on the PATH.
        - Java JVM is used from Arm DS installation.

        .. code-block:: bash

            set PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=<plantuml_Path>\plantuml.jar
            set PATH=$PATH;<ARM_DS_PATH>\sw\java\bin

        3. Using the CMake build system as custom targets to build TF-M
           reference manual:

        .. code-block:: bash

            cd <TF-M base folder>
            cmake -S docs -B build_docs -G"Unix Makefiles"
            cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_refman_html tfm_docs_refman_pdf

        The documentation files will be available under the directory ``build_docs\docs\reference_manual``.

        .. code-block:: bash

            sudo apt-get install -y python3 graphviz default-jre librsvg2-bin
            pip install -r tools/requirements.txt

            sudo apt-get install -y doxygen-latex
            export PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=~/plantuml/plantuml.jar

        2. Currently, there are two ways of building TF-M user guide:

            - Using the CMake build system as custom targets

            .. code-block:: bash

                cd <TF-M base folder>
                cmake -S docs -B build_docs
                cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_userguide_html tfm_docs_userguide_pdf

            The documentation files will be available under the directory ``build_docs/docs/user_guide``.

            - Manually using the appropriate tools (`sphinx-build`_/ `Doxygen`_)

            .. code-block:: bash

                # Build the documentation from build_docs directory
                cd <TF-M base folder>
                mkdir build_docs
                cp docs/conf.py build_docs/conf.py
                cd build_docs
                sphinx-build ./ user_guide

                # Build the documentation from a custom location
                # setting the build_docs as input

                # Note that using this method will still generate the reference manual
                # to the  <TF-M base folder>/build_docs/reference_manual
                cd <TF-M base folder>/<OTHER_DIR>/<OTHER_DIR2>
                sphinx-build  <TF-M base folder>/build_docs/ <DESIRED_OUTPUT_DIR>

            .. Note::

                Invoking Sphinx-build will build both user_guide and
                reference_manual targets.

        1. Download and install the following tools:

        - `Graphviz 2.38 <https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/windows/graphviz-2.38.msi>`__
        - The Java runtime is part of the Arm DS installation or can be `downloaded from here <https://www.java.com/en/download/>`__
        - `PlantUML <http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download>`__
        - `MikTeX <https://miktex.org/download>`__ - for PDF generation only
        - Python3 `(native Windows version) <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`__

        To install all needed packages just do:

        .. code-block:: bash

            pip install -r tools\requirements.txt

        .. Note::
            When building the documentation the first time, MikTeX might prompt
            for installing missing LaTeX components. Please allow the MikTeX
            package manager to set-up these.

        2. Set the environment variables, assuming that:

        - plantuml.jar is available at c:\\plantuml\\plantuml.jar
        - doxygen, dot, and MikTeX binaries are available on the PATH.
        - Java JVM is used from DS5 installation.

            set PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=<plantuml_Path>\plantuml.jar
            set PATH=$PATH;<ARM_DS_PATH>\sw\java\bin

        3. Using the CMake build system as custom targets to build TF-M user
           guide:

        .. code-block:: bash

            cd <TF-M base folder>
            cmake -S docs -B build_docs -G"Unix Makefiles"
            cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_userguide_html tfm_docs_userguide_pdf
