# User Documentation for the AI on the Edge Device Project
This repo contains the documentation for the [AI-on-the-Edge-Device Project](https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device).
# How does it work
1. You can edit any `*.md` document in the [docs](docs) folder.
1. Then create a Pull Request for it to merge it into the `main` branch (or edit it directly in the `main` branch if you have the required rights).
1. When it got merged, the [Github Actions](https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/actions) will re-generate the documentation and place it in the `gh-pages` branch. This branch automatically gets populated to the public [Documentation Site](https://jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs)
## Migrating existing Wiki Pages
The files from the [AI-on-the-Edge-Device Wiki](https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device/wiki) got exported and added to this repo. Unless the files are listed in the [docs/nav.yml](docs/nav.yml) file, they will be listed in the **assorted pages** section of the left sidebar.
In the end, we should review all pages from there step by step and add them to the upper part of the navigation.
### Tasks to do
- Make sure there is a top level title (#) and all other chapter headers are on lower levels (##, ###)
- Check the links in the documents
- Fetch included images and place them directly in the [docs/img](docs/img) folder
- Rewrite to have a clear structure
## Editing a page
Each page has a link on its top-right corner `Edit on GitHub` which brings you directly to the Github editor.
## Adding new pages
1. Add a new `*.md` document in the [docs](docs) folder.
1. Add the **filename** to the [docs/nav.yml](docs/nav.yml) at the wished position in the **Links** section.
## Parameter Documentation
Each parameter which is listed in the [configfile](https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device/blob/rolling/sd-card/config/config.ini) in the main project repo
has its own description page in the folder `param-docs/parameter-pages` (grouped by the config sections).
Those pages can be edited as needed.
The script `concat-parameter-pages.py` in `param-docs` should be run whenever one of the pages changed.
It then concatenates all pages into the single `../docs/Parameters.md` which gets be added to the `mkdocs` documentation.
### Template Generator
The script `generate-template-param-doc-pages.py` should be run whenever a new parameter gets added to the config file.
It then checks if there is already page for each of the parameters.
- If no page exists yet, a templated page gets generated.
- Existing pages do not get modified.
If the parameter is listed in `expert-params.txt`, an **Expert warning** will be shown.
If the parameter is listed in `hidden-in-ui.txt`, a **Note** will be shown.
## Formating
### Boxes
Boxes can be shown using the **admonition** extension.

## Local Test
To test it locally:
1. Clone this repo
1. Install the required tools (See also [.github/workflows/build-docs.yaml](.github/workflows/build-docs.yaml)):
```
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-gen-files mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin mkdocs-material pymdown-extensions
```
1. In the main folder of the repo, call `mkdocs serve` (and keep it running).
This will locally generate the documentation.
You can access it under http://127.0.0.1:8000/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/
Any change to the files will automatically be applied.
