Specifying Yaydoc Configurations

In order to generate and deploy documentation for a registered repository, Yaydoc reads configurations from a YAML file. To get started with Yaydoc the first step is to create a file named .yaydoc.yml and specify the required options.The configuration file is divided into four sections.

metadata

Following is a description of config options under the metadata section and it's example usage.

Key Description Default
author The author of the repository. It is used to construct the copyright text. user/organization
projectname The name of the project. This would be displayed on the generated documentation. Name of the repository
version The version of the project. This would be displayed alongside the project name Current UTC date
debug If true, the logs generated would be a little more verbose. Can be one of true or false. true
inline_math Whether inline math should be enabled. This only affects markdown documents. false
autoindex This section contains various settings to control the behavior of the auto generated index. Use this to customize the starting page while having the benefit of not having to specify a manual index. none
