1After saying `make refdoc' or `make refdoc-venv' the `reference/' directory
2contains the FreeType API reference.  You need Python >= 3.5 and pip to make
3this target.
4
5There are two ways to generate the documentation:
6
71. Using `make refdoc':
8
9    - Ensure `python' and `pip' are available.
10    - Install pip package `docwriter' with `pip install --user docwriter'.
11    - Make target with `make refdoc'.
12    - This target can be run offline once required packages are installed.
13
142. Using `make refdoc-venv' (requires internet access):
15
16    - Ensure `python', `pip' and Python package `virtualenv' are available.
17    - Make target with `make refdoc-venv'.
18    - This may or may not require internet access every time depending on
19    pip and system caching.
20
21This also works with Jam: Just type `jam refdoc' in the main directory.
22
23Some troubleshooting tips:
24
25* Regularly run `pip install --upgrade docwriter' to check for updates which
26may include bug fixes.
27
28* `Docwriter' does not support Python 2.  Ensure that Python >= 3.5 is
29installed and available as `python3'/`python'.
30
31* Ensure that `docwriter' is installed in the same Python target that
32`make refdoc' uses (python3/python).
33
34* If none of this works, send a mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.org' or file
35an issue at `https://github.com/freetype/docwriter/issues'.
