nodiscc 53ed6d7d1e Generate HTML documentation using MkDocs (WIP)
MkDocs is a static site generator geared towards building project documentation.
Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML file.

 * http://www.mkdocs.org/
 * http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/

Ref. #312

* remove pandoc-generated HTML documentation
* move markdown doc to doc/md/,
* mkdocs.yml:
  * generate HTML doc in doc/html
  * add pages TOC/ordering
  * use index.md as index page
* Makefile: remove execute permissions from generated files
* Makefile: rewrite htmlpages GFM to markdown conversion using sed:
   awk expression aslo matched '][' which causes invalid output on complex links with images or code blocks
* Add mkdocs.yml to .gitattributes, exclude this file from release archives
* Makefile: rename: htmldoc -> doc_html target
* run make doc: pull latest markdown documentation from wiki
* run make htmlpages: update html documentation

Foreword

Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.

Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file data/config.json.php is generated:

  • it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values
  • it defines which plugins are enabled
  • its values override those defined in index.php
  • it is wrap in a PHP comment to prevent anyone accessing it, regardless of server configuration

File and directory permissions

The server process running Shaarli must have:

  • read access to the following resources:
    • PHP scripts: index.php, application/*.php, plugins/*.php
    • 3rd party PHP and Javascript libraries: inc/*.php, inc/*.js
    • static assets:
      • CSS stylesheets: inc/*.css
      • images/*
    • RainTPL templates: tpl/*.html
  • read, write and execution access to the following directories:
    • cache - thumbnail cache
    • data - link data store, configuration options
    • pagecache - Atom/RSS feed cache
    • tmp - RainTPL page cache

On a Linux distribution:

  • the web server user will likely be www or http (for Apache2)
  • it will be a member of a group of the same name: www:www, http:http
  • to give it access to Shaarli, either:
    • unzip Shaarli in the default web server location (usually /var/www/) and set the web server user as the owner
    • put users in the same group as the web server, and set the appropriate access rights
  • if you have a domain / subdomain to serve Shaarli, configure the server accordingly
