Building the docs now works the same way, no matter when it happens - in
a cloned repo or distributed version.
This means all the relative links keep working; and that users or
downstream distributors can rebuild the docs with extra scripts or .rst
files in place.
Finally, it eliminates a large number of potential bugs which only occur
in one build environment and are difficult to reproduce.
Also add headings and this work to future news.
Because it's a lot easier to link to bug reports this way.
The migration is mostly just a copy-paste job, but I'm using keybinding
styles where appropriate too.
Automatically generating the link target for each script saves a lot of
time and potential for errors.
Each kind-of-script page now includes a link target for that page, and
also a table of contents.
In-script markers to delimit text for Sphinx extraction now use native
docstring markers from Ruby, which is a lot more elegant in .rb scripts
- and robust, as long as the fisrt docstring is valid .rst!
Creates a single file for each kind of script (base, gui, fix...). This
includes and correctly sorts content from any .lua or .rb file under the
scripts directory. It's more robust and more readable than the old
style, and doesn't write anything in the submodules. User-added scripts
will be seamlessly added, if they have a docs section and Sphinx is run.
This mainly involved tweaking a few filenames and configuration paths to
allow consistency in all scenarios. It cleared up a few errors in the
process too!
I also clarified the placement of the LICENSE file, and finished
configuring the Alabaster style. This required moving some stuff out of
the CMake system to conf.py to avoid later breakage.
Because it's not actually that important to the user how a command is
implemented, and the docs should reflect that. This also makes them
easier to write!
This document is shown when creating pull requests and referenced
from a number of other code-related discussions, so putting the
"contributing code" section first probably makes more sense
(particularly with a TOC).
This makes it possible for some plugins to detect the game state more
reliably - for example, prospector would previously fail when
embarking if the viewscreen_choose_start_sitest instance had any
children.
