## Setting up conf.py for matlab doc
29-
30-
Following the documentation from
31-
[matlabdomain for sphinx](https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/matlabdomain).
32-
33-
Specify the extensions you are using:
34-
35-
```python
36-
extensions = [
37-
'sphinxcontrib.matlab',
38-
'sphinx.ext.autodoc']
39-
```
40-
41-
`matlab_src_dir` in `docs/source/conf.py` should have the path (relative to
42-
`conf.py`) to the folder containing your matlab code:
43-
44-
```python
45-
matlab_src_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath('../../src'))
46-
```

## "Templates"
54-

There are different ways you can document the help section of your matlab
56-
functions so it can be documented automatically by sphinx.
57-
58-
```matlab
59-
function y = my_function(arg1, arg2)
60-
%
61-
% Describe what the function does here.
62-
%
63-
% y = my_function_napoleon(arg1, arg2)
64-
%
65-
% :param arg1: The first input value
66-
% :param arg2: The second input value
67-
% :returns: The input value multiplied by two
68-
69-
y = arg1 + arg2
70-
```
71-
72-
"Napoleon" way more similar to Numpy:
73-
74-
```matlab
75-
function y = my_function_napoleon(arg1, arg2)
76-
%
77-
% Describe what the function does here.
78-
%
79-
% y = my_function_napoleon(arg1, arg2)
80-
%
81-
% Parameters:
82-
% x: The first input value
83-
%
84-
% y: The second input value
85-
%
86-
% Returns:
87-
% The input value multiplied by two
88-
89-
y = x * 2;
90-
```
91-
92-
You then just need to insert this in your `.rst` file for the documentation to
93-
be done automatically.
94-
95-
```rst
96-
97-
.. automodule:: src .. <-- This is necessary for autodocumenting the rest
98-
99-
.. autofunction:: my_function
100-
101-
.. autofunction:: my_function_napoleon
102-
```

## Build the documentation locally
105-
106-
From the `docs` directory:
107-
108-
```bash
109-
sphinx-build -b html source build
110-
```
111-
112-
This will build an html version of the doc in the `build` folder.
113-
114-
## Buid the documentation with Read the Docs
115-
116-
Add a [`.readthedocs.yml`](../.readthedocs.yml) file in the root of your repo.
117-
118-
See [HERE](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html) for
119-
details.
120-
121-
You can then trigger the build of the doc by going to the
122-
[read the docs](https://readthedocs.org) website.
123-
124-
You might need to be added as a maintainer of the doc.
125-
126-
The doc can be built from any branch of a repo.
