MultiDocumenter

This package aggregates Documenter.jl documentation from multiple sources into one page with a global search bar.

Example usage

using MultiDocumenter

clonedir = mktempdir()

docs = [
    MultiDocumenter.DropdownNav("Debugging", [
        MultiDocumenter.MultiDocRef(
            upstream = joinpath(clonedir, "Infiltrator"),

        ),

]

outpath = joinpath(@__DIR__, "out")

MultiDocumenter.make(
    outpath,
    docs;
    search_engine = MultiDocumenter.SearchConfig(
        index_versions = ["stable"],
        engine = MultiDocumenter.FlexSearch
    )
)

Deployment

Check .github/workflows/deploy.yml and docs/make.jl for an example on how to deploy MultiDocumenter-generated aggregates to a git branch.

The result of that script is available at https://juliacomputing.github.io/MultiDocumenter.jl/.

You can of course also just push the output artefact directly to S3 or some other hosting service.

Warning MultiDocumenter sites can not be deployed on Windows right now, and the make() function will throw an error. See #70.

It is still possible to develop and debug MultiDocumenter sites on Windows if the build script is run interactively (e.g. by include-ing it into a REPL session).
