Build

on ReadTheDocs

• Branches other than master in the main repository (iiasa/message_doc) can be built under the IIASA ECE ReadTheDocs account, and will appear at https://docs.messageix.org/projects/global/en/[BRANCH]. Authorized users can configure these at https://readthedocs.com/projects/iiasa-energy-program-message-doc/versions/
• For a personal fork, e.g. [USER]/message_doc, visit https://readthedocs.io¹ and configure builds for your fork, using a project name like message-doc-[USER]. These will appear at https://message-doc-[USER].readthedocs.io/en/[BRANCH].

Write

Use the following references:

• Quick reStructuredText reference from docutils.
• ReST cheat sheet by Thomas Cokelaer.
• Sphinx documentation, including reference on Sphinx-specific ReST syntax.
• Usage for sphinxcontrib.bibtex (citations and bibliography).

Add citations to bibs/main.bib. Format entries:

• Field lines like [TAB]year = {2010},: tab indent, spaces around =, value inside {}, trailing comma.
• Use either doi (preferred) or url, not both.
• keywords separated by semicolons (';').
• Do not include abstract, localfile, or file fields.
