Build the LAMMPS documentation
----------------------------------------
The LAMMPS manual is written in `reStructuredText <rst_>`_ format which
can be translated to different output format using the `Sphinx
<sphinx_>`_ document generator tool. Currently the translation to HTML
and PDF (via LaTeX) are supported. For that to work a Python 3
interpreter and internet access is required. For the documentation
build a python based virtual environment is set up in the folder
``doc/docenv`` and various python packages are installed into that
virtual environment via the ``pip`` tool. The actual translation is
then done via ``make`` commands.

Documentation makefile options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following make commands can be issued in the doc folder of the
LAMMPS source distribution.
.. code-block:: bash
make html # create HTML pages in html directory
make pdf # create Manual.pdf in this directory
make fetch # fetch HTML and PDF files from LAMMPS web site
make clean # remove all intermediate files
make clean-all # reset the entire doc build environment
make anchor_check # scan for duplicate anchor labels
make style_check # check for complete and consistent style lists
make package_check # check for complete and consistent package lists
make spelling # spell-check the manual
Thus "make html" will create a "doc/html" directory with the HTML format
manual pages so that you can browse them with a web browser locally on
your system.
.. note::
You can also download a tarball of the documentation for the
current LAMMPS version (HTML and PDF files), from the website
`download page <https://lammps.sandia.gov/download.html>`_.
CMake build options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is also possible to create the HTML version (and only the HTML
version) of the manual within the :doc:`CMake build directory
<Build_cmake>`. The reason for this option is to include the
installation of the HTML manual pages into the "install" step when
installing LAMMPS after the CMake build via ``make install``. The
documentation build is included in the default build target, but can
also be requested independently with ``make doc``.

The LAMMPS manual is written in `reStructuredText <rst_>`_ format which

documentation extracted from the LAMMPS C++ sources through the `Doxygen

readers) are supported. For that to work a Python 3 interpreter, the
``doxygen`` tools and internet access to download additional files and

``make clean-all``.

Installing prerequisites for HTML build

Build using CMake
-----------------
It is also possible to create the HTML version (and **only** the HTML
version) of the manual within the :doc:`CMake build directory
