Doxygen Plugin for Trac
Description
Integrates doxygen documentation into Trac.
The aim is to embed one or multiple doxygen-generated documentation(s) within Trac,
in order to have consistent look and feel, and easy referencing to doxygen pages
using the usual TracLinks and the doxygen:
prefix.
The doxygen plugin provides a new main navigation tab (named Doxygen by default),
which will present an index page.
If you have to present only one documentation project, that index page can directly
be a Doxygen-generated page, like the index.html, main.html (default) or hierarchy.html.
An alternative is to pick a Wiki page to use as the index, and this is indeed the best
option if you have multiple documentation projects to serve. That way you can build
your own meta index the way you want, using doxygen:...
links within that page.
Configuring the Doxygen plugin should be easy if you have only one Doxygen generated documentation to wrap, and a bit more involved if you have many --but the goal is to have a great deal of flexibility, in the latter case.
This plugin is compatible with the following releases of Trac:
- Trac 0.9: the 0.9 compatible version of this plugin is in maintenance mode, and probably no new feature will be added there.
- Trac 0.10: the 0.10 version of this plugin is in overhaul mode, and this is currently in a work-in-progress-but-usable status (r1245).
The rest of this documentation is covering both versions, but is probably more accurate for the latter.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for DoxygenPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Source
You can check out the source for DoxygenPlugin from Subversion at http://trac-hacks.org/svn/doxygenplugin, or browse the source locally. See log:/doxygenplugin for recent changes.
Download the zipped source for the [download:doxygenplugin/0.9 0.9] branch or the [download:doxygenplugin/0.10 0.10] branch.
Example
Installation
Download the source code for the DoxygenPlugin from [download:doxygenplugin here] or checkout the source from the trac hacks subversion repository at: http://trac-hacks.org/svn/doxygenplugin.
Change to the doxygenplugin/0.10 directory and run:
python setup.py bdist_egg
This will generate a python egg in the dist directory. Copy the egg file into the trac/plugins directory and follow the Configuration steps outlined below.
Configuring Trac
Basic Configuration
A [doxygen]
section should be created in TracIni.
There's only one mandatory setting, it's the path
to the generated documentation.
This should match the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
setting in the Doxyfile (if that's a relative path, you'll need to prepend the current working directory used
when running doxygen
). Also, don't forget to grant the users the DOXYGEN_VIEW permission, or you'll just get a blank page.
Note that there's also the HTML_OUTPUT
setting which might play a role here. By default, the value for this setting is html
, and this will be
appended to the path specified in OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
.
Example:
[doxygen] path = /var/cache/doxygen/myproject html_output = html
Settings for Multiple Documentation Projects
In this case, the path
option is used to set a common prefix, shared by all the generated documentations.
You can also use default_documentation
to specify which project should be used when no explicit path are
given when requesting a documentation file, when using the doxygen:
TracLinks.
Example:
Let's imagine you have two sets of documentation, one for the latest trunk, one for a stable branch,
and they are like this:
$ cd /var/cache/doxygen $ grep OUTPUT Doxyfile.stable OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = stable HTML_OUTPUT = html $ grep OUTPUT Doxygen.devel OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = devel HTML_OUTPUT = html $ doxygen Doxyfile.stable ... $ doxygen Doxyfile.devel ...
Now, you will have the following directory structure:
- /var/cache/doxygen/stable/html
- /var/cache/doxygen/devel/html
You want to have links like doxygen:MyClass
refer to the documentation for the stable branch,
i.e. to be equivalent to doxygen:stable/MyClass
.
To that end, you need the following setup:
[doxygen] path = /var/cache/doxygen default_documentation = stable wiki_index = DoxyGen html_output = html
It is advised to used the wiki_index
in this situation, so you can place links to both documentation sets:
= Documentation generated by Doxygen = - Documentation for the stable API: [doxygen:stable/hierarchy class hierarchy], [doxygen:stable/dirs directory hierarchy] - Documentation for the trunk API: [doxygen:devel/hierarchy class hierarchy], [doxygen:devel/dirs directory hierarchy]
Options Summary
These are all the configuration options recognized in the [doxygen]
section of TracIni.
Option Name | Documentation | Default value |
path | Directory containing doxygen generated files. | |
html_output | Default documentation project suffix, as generated by Doxygen using the HTML_OUTPUT Doxygen configuration setting. Since 0.10 | |
title | Title to use for the main navigation tab. | Doxygen |
ext | Space separated list of extensions for doxygen managed files. | htm html png |
source_ext | Space separated list of source files extensions | idl odl java cs py php php4 inc phtml m cpp cxx c hpp hxx h |
default_documentation | Default documentation project, relative to [doxygen] path. When no explicit path is given in a documentation request, this path will be prepended to the request before looking for documentation files. | |
index | Default index page to pick in the generated documentation. | main.html |
wiki_index | Wiki page to use as the default page for the Doxygen main page. If set, supersedes the [doxygen] index option. | |
encoding | Default encoding used by the generated documentation files. Since 0.10 | iso-8859-1 |
(up to date with r1249)
If you install the plugin globally, you'll also need to enable it in trac.ini as follows:
[components] doxygentrac.* = enabled
Configuring Doxygen
The only configuration setting in the Doxyfile that is required to make this plugin work is GENERATE_HTML.
Since this plugin just embeds the html pages generated by doxygen you will need to define a custom header and footer even if it will be containing only blank line.
HTML_HEADER = TracHeader.html HTML_FOOTER = TracFooter.html
See HTML_HEADER and HTML_FOOTER.
These files must contain something, a blank line is sufficient, or doxygen will put in the defaults. You can put there you own CSS style as in following example:
<style type="text/css"> h1 { text-align: center; } </style>
and my TracFooter.html contains a blank line.
To enable the search option, the SEARCHENGINE
setting must be set to YES
(of course, calls to the php search script will be hijacked by this plugin,
so you don't need to bother to install/configure php ;) ).
TracLinks
It's possible to create links to doxygen documentation from anywhere within a Wiki text, by using the doxygen:
link prefix.
The general syntax of such links is: doxygen:documentation_path/documentation_target
, where documentation_path
is optional.
If documentation_path
is not specified, the [doxygen] default_documentation
setting will be used instead.
The documentation_target
part is used for specifying what Doxygen generated content will be displayed when following the link. It can be:
- the name of one of the many documentation summary page generated by Doxygen:
- annotated, classes, dirs, files, functions, globals, hierarchy, index, inherits, main, namespaces and namespacemembers
- the name of a documented struct or class
- the name of a directory {o}
- the name of a file {o}
Some examples:
[doxygen:main.html Documentation] # Simple documentation in doxygen path. [doxygen:FirstProject/annotated Annotated List of Classes in FirstProject] [doxygen:SecondProject/main.html Main doc index for SecondProject]
