ReadTheDocs Version:3 Jobs
##########################
-ReadTheDocs V3 jobs support documentation that is structured as a
-master documentation project plus a sub-project for each software
-component. The master project files are usually maintained in a
+ReadTheDocs Projects can be configured in a nested manner, by configuring a
+project as a subproject of another project. This allows for documentation
+projects to share a search index and a namespace or custom domain, but still be
+maintained independently.
+
+The master Read The Docs project files are usually maintained in a
"docs" git repository and should contain an index with links to all
the sub-projects. Each sub-project must maintain its documentation
files in a "docs" subdirectory within that software component's git
The RTDv3 Jenkins jobs publish documentation by triggering builds at
ReadTheDocs.io. That build process clones the appropriate repository

+To transform your rst documentation into a Read The Docs page, this job must be
configured and created as described in Admin setup below. Once this is complete
the following files must be added to your repository:
following repo contains a script that will do this for you. Please refer to the
explanation presented in: https://github.com/lfit-sandbox/test. This is all
currently a beta feature, so feedback is encouraged. The script

+``docs_script.sh`` is not needed, you can copy the files by hand if you prefer.
The default location of the tox.ini file is in the git repository root
directory. Optionally your documentation lead may decide to store all tox files
If your project's tox dir is "docs/" and not "." the tox.ini must be
reconfigured with the correct relative paths.
-Once these files are correctly configured in your repository you can test
-locally:
+Additionally, you must also modify the doc-dir. For example, from the default
+of ``doc-dir: "docs/_build/html"`` to ``doc-dir: "_build/html"``, as the relative
+path in the tox run has changed.
+
+
+Once these files are correctly configured in your repository you can build
+the rst files locally to test:
.. code-block:: bash
--------------------------
If your project does not create branches, you can skip this step.
-Once you branch your project modify your conf.yaml and add the following line:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
- version: 'ReleaseBranchName'
-
-This will update the docs and change "master" on the top bar to your branch
-name. This change should be done against your release branch, this change will
-trigger a Read The Docs build which will create a new landing point for your
-documentation.
-
-This landing point is called /stable/ and is selectable as a version in the
-bottom right corner of all Read The Docs pages. Once all projects have
-branched and modified their conf.py they will have available their /stable/
-documentation. The process to release the documentation (that is to change the
-default landing point of your docs from /latest/ to /stable/) is to change the
-default-version in the jenkins job config as follows:
+For Read The Docs to see your new branch, a build needs to be triggered.
+A trivial change to any file in your project's /docs/ directory
+on your newly minted branch is sufficient to build and activate your project's
+new branch on Read The Docs. This will create a new selectable version
+in the bottom right corner of your project's Read The Docs page.
+Once all projects have branched the process to release the documentation
+(that is to change the default landing point of your docs from /latest/ to /branchname/)
