Code Examples

All code examples are:

  • Tested and working
  • Include imports
  • Show complete context
  • Provide expected output

API Documentation

  • Auto-generated from docstrings
  • Includes type hints
  • Shows inheritance
  • Links to source code

Next Steps

Local Testing

# Install dependencies
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt

# Build and check for errors
sphinx-build -W -b html docs docs/_build/html

# Check links
sphinx-build -b linkcheck docs docs/_build/linkcheck

Push to Repository

git add .readthedocs.yaml docs/
git commit -m "Add comprehensive Read the Docs documentation"

git push origin v1.1.0

Review Changes

Use Read the Docs preview builds:

  • Pull requests get preview URLs
  • Review before merging

Support

For documentation issues:

  1. Check build logs on Read the Docs
  2. Test locally with sphinx-build
  3. Review Sphinx documentation: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/
