On my new machine building API web pages takes twice as much real time as normal FriCAS build. This is due to sphinx taking a lot of time. I have tried to modify Ralf's code to directly generate HTML, skipping the .rst stage. You can see proof of concept code at:
http://wiki.fricas.org/public/api2.spad ATM this does not handle docstrings and conditions on signatures. Navigation links are very limited. But it indicates that skipping .rst stage we should be able to build API web pages probably about 100 times faster. If you want to try this, first generate 'abbrev-lines.list' (you can take it from documentation build), then compile 'api.spad' from 'src/doc', then compile 'api2.spad' and at FriCAS prompt issue documentAll("abbrev-lines.list") For some reason second second run is much faster than the first one. Since this generates thousends of pages in reasonable time, we should be able to generate pages on the fly, making this dynamic (a not only having static pages). BTW: Sphinx-generated HTML contains a lot of markup. I wonder how much of it is useful (for us) and how much is crap added because in some rare cases (but usually not) it is needed. -- Waldek Hebisch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
