You want to add some code to WeasyPrint, launch its tests or improve its
documentation? Thank you very much! Here are some tips to help you play with
WeasyPrint in good conditions.

The first step is to clone the repository, create a virtual environment and
install WeasyPrint dependencies:

.. code-block:: shell

   git clone https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint.git
   cd WeasyPrint
   python -m venv venv
   venv/bin/pip install -e '.[doc,test]'

You can then launch Python to test your changes:

.. code-block:: shell

   venv/bin/python

Running WeasyPrint might look something like this:

.. code-block:: shell

   venv/bin/python -m weasyprint example.html example.pdf

.. _GitHub: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint


Tests
-----

Tests are stored in the ``tests`` folder at the top of the repository. They use
the pytest_ library.

Tests require Ghostscript_ to be installed and available on the local path. You
should also install all the `DejaVu fonts`_ if you’re on Linux.

You can launch tests using the following command::

  venv/bin/python -m pytest

WeasyPrint also uses ruff_ to check the coding style::

  venv/bin/python -m ruff check

.. _pytest: https://docs.pytest.org/
.. _Ghostscript: https://www.ghostscript.com/
.. _DejaVu fonts: https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/
.. _ruff: https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/


Documentation
-------------

Documentation is stored in the ``docs`` folder at the top of the repository. It
relies on the `Sphinx`_ library.

You can build the documentation using the following command::

  venv/bin/sphinx-build docs docs/_build

The documentation home page can now be found in the
``/path/to/weasyprint/docs/_build/index.html`` file. You can open this file in a
browser to see the final rendering.

.. _Sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/
