If you’re looking to create a stylish and functional website for your documents, look no further than TeeDoc! This powerful tool simplifies the journey of converting your Markdown and Jupyter notebooks into a beautiful HTML documentation site. Dive into this guide to learn how to set it up and troubleshoot common issues.

What is TeeDoc?

TeeDoc is a documentation generation tool that allows you to meld your Markdown files and Jupyter notebooks into one cohesive website. Ideal for personal, corporate, or academic use, TeeDoc makes document management a breeze.

Features of TeeDoc

  • Easy to use, cross-platform with only Python 3 required
  • Real-time preview of file changes
  • Support for multiple themes and plugins
  • SEO-friendly and includes a search feature
  • Multi-language support and easy style customization

Getting Started with TeeDoc

  1. Install Python 3:
    • For Windows or macOS, download from python.org.
    • For Ubuntu, use the terminal: sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
  2. Install TeeDoc:

    Run the following command in your terminal:

    pip3 install -U teedoc
  3. Initialize Your Document:

    Create a new directory for your site:

    mkdir my_site
    cd my_site
    teedoc init

    Select the minimal template during the initialization process.

  4. Install Plugins:

    Install plugins used by the documentation:

    cd my_site
    teedoc install
  5. Build or Serve the Site:

    To serve your project locally, run:

    teedoc serve

    Visit http://127.0.0.1:2333 in your browser to see your site live!

    If you only want to generate HTML files without serving:

    teedoc build

Understanding the Setup Process – A Delicious Analogy!

Think of setting up TeeDoc like preparing a multi-course meal. Each ingredient (document) needs to be prepared (written) properly. After gathering all your ingredients (Markdown files and Jupyter notebooks), you chop them up into the right portions (initialize the document and install plugins). Finally, you carefully cook everything together (build or serve), creating a delectable dish (your finished documentation site) ready to be served to guests (your audience). Just like in cooking, attention to detail matters with TeeDoc!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

can’t find Python or teeDoc commands

Ensure you have Python installed and included in your system PATH. Restart your terminal after installation.

Site not rendering properly

Check if your Markdown files follow the proper formatting. Additionally, ensure all plugins are installed correctly.

Performance Issues

With large documentation, consider breaking it into smaller sections. Utilize the parallel build feature for faster processing.
