Scala Documentation

This repository contains the source for the Scala documentation website, as well as the source for "Scala Improvement Process" (SIP) documents.

Quickstart

To build and view the site locally:

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve -I

For more details, read on.

Quickstart with Docker

To build and view site with docker:

docker-compose up

It will incrementally build and serve site at http://localhost:8080

Contributing

Please have a look at http://docs.scala-lang.org/contribute.html before making a contribution. This document gives an overview of the type of documentation contained within the Scala Documentation repository and the repository's structure.

Small changes, or corrected typos will generally be pulled in right away. Large changes, like the addition of new documents, or the rewriting of existing documents will be thoroughly reviewed-- please keep in mind that, generally, new documents must be very well-polished, complete, and maintained in order to be accepted.

Dependencies

This site uses a Jekyll, a Ruby framework. You'll need Ruby and Bundler installed; see Jekyll installation instructions for the details.

Building & Viewing

cd into the directory where you cloned this repository, then install the required gems with bundle install. This will automatically put the gems into ./vendor/bundle.

Start the server in the context of the bundle (use -I for incremental builds):

bundle exec jekyll serve -I

It might take around 5 minutes at first but incremental compilations will be fast.

The generated site is available at http://localhost:4000

If you add --watch at the end of the command line above, Jekyll will automatically watch for changes on the filesystem, and regenerate the site.

If you get incompatible encoding errors when generating the site under Windows, then ensure that the console in which you are running jekyll can work with UTF-8 characters. As described in the blog Solving UTF problem with Jekyll on Windows you have to execute chcp 65001. This command is best added to the jekyll.bat-script.

Markdown

The markdown used in this site uses kramdown extensions.

Markdown Editor for OSX

There's a free markdown editor for OSX called Mou. It's quite convenient to work with, and it generates the translated Markdown in real-time alongside of your editor window, as can be seen here:
