Richard van der Hoff 0546f0917d Replace hacky shell to do matrix styling with hacky perl
Since the shell just wrapped three invocations of perl, we might as well do
it all in perl.

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

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:
