Richard van der Hoff 8aa0f64665 Update the speculator to understand spec subdirs
Fix the speculator so that it doesn't blow up when it finds subdirs in the gen
directory.

(It doesn't handle the html diff very well in the case that the subdirs don't
match, but it's hard to do much about that)

Generating the HTML for the specification

Requirements:

  • docutils (for converting RST to HTML)
  • Jinja2 (for templating)

To generate the complete specification along with supporting documentation, run: python gendoc.py

The output of this will be inside the "scripts/gen" folder.

Matrix.org only ("gen" folder has matrix.org tweaked pages): ./matrix-org-gendoc.sh /path/to/matrix.org/includes/nav.html

Generating the Swagger documentation

Swagger[1] is a framework for representing RESTful APIs. We use it to generate interactive documentation for our APIs.

Swagger UI reads a JSON description of the API. To generate this file from the YAML files in the api folder, run: ./dump-swagger.py

By default, dump-swagger will write to scripts/swagger/api-docs.json.

To make use of the generated file, there are a number of options:
