Generate Documentation

Change the path to your bookdown.json file.

See the documentation example. It can be compiled using bookdown and Docker. The following example uses the Docker Bookdown and you can use it also out of the box for your project.

The style is set by an environment CSS_BOOTSWATCH variable and the PRISM style by CSS_PRISM. Here is an example for the superhero style with the prism coy style.

$ docker run -it --rm -e CSS_BOOTSWATCH=superhero -e CSS_PRISM=coy -v $(pwd):/app sandrokeil/bookdown doc/bookdown.json
$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/app php:5.6-cli php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /app/doc/html

or for Bookdown via Composer.

$ export CSS_BOOTSWATCH=superhero && export CSS_PRISM=coy && php ./vendor/bin/bookdown doc/bookdown.json
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t doc/html/

Then browse to http://localhost:8080/
