James E. Blair 79807e11a1 Change mycloud.com to example.com (RFC2606).
From RFC2606:
   To reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion, a few top level
   domain names are reserved for use in private testing, as examples in
   documentation, and the like.

Currently the documentation contains URLs that point to mycloud.com,
which is registered and not affiliated with OpenStack.  It's better
to use example.com which exists for this purpose.

=================
Building the docs
=================

Dependencies
============

Sphinx_
  You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are
  using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv
  specifically so that it can load the nova modules.

  ::

    pip install Sphinx

Graphviz_
  Some of the diagrams are generated using the ``dot`` language
  from Graphviz.

  ::

    sudo apt-get install graphviz

.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org

.. _Graphviz: http://www.graphviz.org/


Use `make`
==========

Just type make::

  % make

Look in the Makefile for more targets.


Manually
========

  1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings::
     
      % ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst

  2. Run `sphinx_build`::

      % sphinx-build -b html source build/html


The docs have been built
========================

Check out the `build` directory to find them. Yay!
