Improve php-src docs sphinx build, also on *nix (GH-16743) * Document .rst file maximum line length of 100 In 19d2b84788 ("Create book for docs", 2024-01-30) the build of the php-src documentation has been introduced. It is based on reStructuredText (rst) [Docutils] for its source files, this stems from the sphinx-build utility in use to build the static HTML pages of the php-src documentation. The maximum line length of these text files has been set to 100 characters in 19d2b84788 ("Create book for docs", 2024-01-30), the rationale is unknown to the documenting author at time of writing this message. This formatting constraint is applied with the rstfmt utility [rstfmt] via its invocation (documented in CI build instructions and README.md:) rstfmt -w 100 source The `-w, --width` option takes a WIDTH argument that is "the target line length in characters" (cf. `rstfmt --help`.) There is also an `--ext EXT` argument option, that is "the extension of files to look at when passed a directory" ("source" is the name of a directory in the invocation above) and defaults to "rst". Henceforth, the editor configuration [EditorConfig] can benefit from documenting this expectation in the repositories .editorconfig file, which has been introduced already earlier in 5c38fbe543 ("Added editorconfig file", 2016-06-26). [Docutils]: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/index.html "Docutils: Documentation Utilities — Written in Python, for General- and Special-Purpose Use" [rstfmt]: https://github.com/dzhu/rstfmt "A formatter for reStructuredText" [EditorConfig]: https://editorconfig.org/ "EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs" * Makefile for php-src docs build In 19d2b84788 ("Create book for docs", 2024-01-30) the php-src documentation (php-src docs) build has been introduced, yet the build instructions, namely `make html`, did not yield the expected results within the parenting setup of the php-src project on *nix systems. The reason is that the `make html` build instruction does not execute the make.bat file which contains the recipe to build the static HTML pages. It is an unused leftover file from initializing the project with sphinx-quickstart. [1] Removing it in and adding a Makefile suffices to recover the build of php-src ./docs on a *nix system. Formatting constraints checked in the docs workflow in CI update use the make file to make sure the commands stay consistent and the build is managed by the build manager. [1]: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/man/sphinx-quickstart.html "sphinx-quickstart is an interactive tool that asks some questions about your project and then generates a complete documentation directory and sample Makefile to be used with sphinx-build(1)." * Bind requirements.txt for php-src docs build Define the required packages to install for the php-src docs build in the docs/requirements.txt file: 1) Sphinx 2) sphinx-design 3) sphinxawesome-theme 4) rstfmt This should also later on ease the use of a requirements_frozen.txt file to pin the build dependencies if needed/wanted. Additionally, some formatting corrections in README.md (based on the profile in .editorconfig) as well as adding the recommendation to use a Python virtual environment. Python3 and Pip were already named, and with Python3 there is the venv module (Python 3.3; Sep 2012) to manage these so-called python virtual environments [venv], which are commonly a preferred way to install dependencies within development projects and build systems. [venv]: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html "venv — Creation of virtual environments — Python documentation" * Remove deprecated theme configuration For the configured Awesome Sphinx Theme [1] highlighting extension, the sphinx-build currently yields the following diagnostics: WARNING: while setting up extension sphinxawesome_theme.highlighting: \ You no longer have to include the `sphinxawsome_theme.highlighting` \ extension. This extension will be removed in the next major release. (via `make html`, the configuration file is `source/conf.py`.) The diagnostic message was introduced by sphinxawesome-theme 5.2.0, released May 31, 2024. [2], [3] Removing the extension from the list of extensions in the configuration file levitates. No changes to requirements.txt, the extension was transitive as bundled by the Awesome Sphinx Theme [1], and 5.2.0 deprecates it with the new feature to "Support `pygments_style_dark` option that allows you to set a different syntax highlighting scheme in light and dark modes."
