426<h1>Writing CodeIgniter Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#writing-codeigniter-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
427<p>CodeIgniter uses Sphinx to generate its documentation in a variety of formats,
428using reStructuredText to handle the formatting. If you are familiar with
429Markdown or Textile, you will quickly grasp reStructuredText. The focus is
430on readability and user friendliness.
431While they can be quite technical, we always write for humans!</p>
432<p>A local table of contents should always be included, like the one below.
433It is created automatically by inserting the following:</p>
434<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">..</span> <span class="nx">contents</span><span class="o">::</span>
435 <span class="o">:</span><span class="nx">local</span><span class="o">:</span>

453<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Tools Required</a><a class="headerlink" href="#tools-required" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
454<p>To see the rendered HTML, ePub, PDF, etc., you will need to install Sphinx
455along with the PHP domain extension for Sphinx. The underlying requirement
456is to have Python installed. Lastly, you will install the CI Lexer for
457Pygments, so that code blocks can be properly highlighted.</p>

460</pre></div>
461</div>
462<p>Then follow the directions in the README file in the <code class="samp docutils literal"><span class="pre">cilexer</span></code> folder
463inside the documentation repository to install the CI Lexer.</p>

467<p>Headings not only provide order and sections within a page, but they also
468are used to automatically build both the page and document table of contents.
469Headings are formed by using certain characters as underlines for a bit of
470text. Major headings, like page titles and section headings also use
471overlines. Other headings just use underlines, with the following hierarchy:</p>
472<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># with overline for page titles</span>
473<span class="o">*</span> <span class="nx">with</span> <span class="nx">overline</span> <span class="k">for</span> <span class="nx">major</span> <span class="nx">sections</span>

518<p>When documenting class methods for third party developers, Sphinx provides
519directives to assist and keep things simple.
520For example, consider the following ReST:</p>
521<div class="highlight-rst"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">..</span> <span class="ow">php:class</span><span class="p">::</span> Some_class
522
523<span class="p"> ..</span> <span class="ow">php:method</span><span class="p">::</span> some_method ( $foo [, $bar [, $bat]])
524
525 This function will perform some action. The <span class="s">``$bar``</span> array must contain
526 a something and something else, and along with <span class="s">``$bat``</span> is an optional
527 parameter.
528
529 <span class="nc">:param int $foo:</span> <span class="nf">the foo id to do something in</span>
530 <span class="nc">:param mixed $bar:</span> <span class="nf">A data array that must contain a something and something else</span>
531 <span class="nc">:param bool $bat:</span> <span class="nf">whether or not to do something</span>
532 <span class="nc">:returns:</span> <span class="nf">FALSE on failure, TRUE if successful</span>
533 <span class="nc">:rtype:</span> <span class="nf">bool</span>
534
535 <span class="se">::</span>
536
537<span class="s"> $this-&gt;load-&gt;library(&#39;some_class&#39;);</span>
538
539<span class="s"> $bar = array(</span>
540<span class="s"> &#39;something&#39; =&gt; &#39;Here is this parameter!&#39;,</span>
541<span class="s"> &#39;something_else&#39; =&gt; 42</span>

543
544<span class="s"> $bat = $this-&gt;some_class-&gt;should_do_something();</span>
545
546<span class="s"> if ($this-&gt;some_class-&gt;some_method(4, $bar, $bat) === FALSE)</span>
