This repo contains the source code for building the documentation system. If you're only interested in viewing the documentation then please look here.

• Python3
• Node.js and npm
• Adobe InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop and ExtendScript Toolkit for XML source files

Install node packages:

$ npm install

Build automatically (only works on OSX):

$ npm run build

The docs will be compiled to public/. OMV XML files will automatically be found, if you're building on Windows you will need to locate these yourself.

Building the documentation requires the following steps:

1. Locate the source OMV XML files, copy them to ./xml/source. The script ./src/findxml will do this for you on OSX.
2. Parse the XML files, output as JSON with ./src/xml2json.py.
3. Map the output JSON files to the public directory with ./src/json2public.py. The file ./xml/map.json defines what files to copy.
4. Build the web interface.

gulp and npm are setup to run these for you.

To build all the documentation from scratch:

$ npm run build

To watch src/ and compile automatically to public/:

$ npm run watch

To clean the dist files:

$ npm run clean

The easiest way to view the docs locally is to use zapp.

$ npm install -g zapp
$ zapp public/

Now open your browser here.

The XML source files can be found in the following locations on Mac OS X:

• /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Scripting Dictionaries CC/CommonFiles
• /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Scripting Dictionaries CC/Illustrator
• /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Scripting Dictionaries CC/photoshop
• ~/Library/Preferences/ExtendScript Toolkit/4.0/

On Windows:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Scripting Dictionaries CC/CommonFiles
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Scripting Dictionaries CC/illustrator
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Scripting Dictionaries CC/photoshop
• C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\ExtendScript Toolkit\4.0

If you have a 64-Bit version of the Adobe program installed, go to C:\Program Files\ instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\.
