Steps for including the Gramps API into devhelp index.

Gramps and Gtk3 APIs into devhelp browser

Devhelp

Devhelp is a Gtk+/Gnome browser for API documentation; it works natively with gtk-doc (which is the API reference format for Gtk+/Gnome documentation).


Paths

According to base directories from freedesktop, the working paths could be:

$XDG_DATA_DIRS/devhelp/books
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/gtk-doc/html

Steps

1. Go to Gramps/docs folder

2. modify 'update_doc.py' for generating a devhelp file via 'devhelp' key for builder:

$ sphinx-build -b devhelp .  _build/devhelp

could be:

$ os.system(' ' '%(program)s -b devhelp . _build/devhelp' ' ' % {'program': sphinxCmd})

in python.

3. run 'update_doc.py':

eg,

$ cd docs
$ python3 update_doc.py 

4. copy the content of _build/devhelp directory into one of the above paths for devhelp index.

5. run a command (which one?) or wait for the next post installation (rebuild of indexes after new package)
