Commit history before merge:
* Replace references to master branch
* Update .flake8 to reference docs on RTD
We're moving away from GitHub as a documentation host to only RTD because
it's makes our lives easier creating good docs. I know this link is dead right now,
but it won't be once we release a new version with the documentation reorganization
changes (which should be soon!).
Co-authored-by: Richard Si <63936253+ichard26@users.noreply.github.com>
I know I know, this is the second reorganization of the docs. I'm not
saying the first one was bad or anything... but.. actually wait nah,
*it was bad*.
Anyway, welcome to probably my biggest commit. The main thing with this
reorganization was to introduce nesting to the documentation! Having
all of the docs be part of the main TOC was becoming too much. There
wasn't much room to expand either. Finally, the old setup required
a documentation generation step which was just annoying.
The goals of this reorganization was to:
1. Significantly restructure the docs to be discoverable and
understandable
2. Add room for further docs (like guides or contributing docs)
3. Get rid of the doc generation step (it was slow and frustrating)
4. Unblock other improvements and also just make contributing to the
docs easier
Another important change with this is that we are no longer using GitHub
as a documentation host. While GitHub does support Markdown based docs
actually pretty well, the lack of any features outside of GitHub Flavoured
Markdown is quite limiting. ReadTheDocs is just much better suited for
documentation. You can use reST, MyST, CommonMark, and all of their
great features like toctrees and admonitions.
Related to this change, we're adopting MyST as our flavour of Markdown.
MyST introduces neat syntax extensions to Markdown that pretty much
gives us the best of both worlds. The ease of use and simplicity of MD
and the flexibility and expressiveness of reST. Also recommonmark is
deprecated now. This switch was possible now we don't use GH as a docs
host. MyST docs have to be built to really be usable / pretty, so the MD
docs are going to look pretty bad on GH, but that's fine now!
Another thing that should be noted is that the README has been stripped
of most content since it was confusing. Users would read the README and
then think some feature or bug was fixed already and is available in a
release when in reality, they weren't. They were reading effectively
the latest docs without knowing.

FYI: CommonMark is a rationalized version of Markdown syntax

Commit history before merge:
* Switch to MyST-Parser + doc config cleanup
recommonmark is being deprecated in favour of MyST-Parser. This change
is welcomed, especially since MyST-Parser has syntax extensions for the
Commonmark standard. Effectively we get to use a language that's powerful
and expressive like ReST, but get the simplicity of Markdown.
The rest of this effort will be using some MyST features.
This reorganization efforts aims to remove as much duplication as possible.
The regeneration step once needed is gone, significantly simplifing our
Sphinx documentation configuration.
* Tell pipenv we replaced recommonmark for MyST-Parser
Also update `docs/requirements.txt`
* Delete all auto generated content
* Switch prettier for mdformat (plus a few plugins)
**FYI: THIS WAS EFFECTIVELY REVERTED, SEE THIRD TO LAST COMMIT**
prettier doesn't support MyST's syntax extensions which are going to be
used in this reorganization effort so we have to switch formatter.
Unfortanately mdformat's style is different from prettier's so time to
reformat the whole repo too.
We're excluding .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE because I have no idea whether
its changes are safe, so let's play it safe.
* Fix the heading levels in CHANGES.md + a link
MyST-Parser / sphinx's linkcheck complains otherwise.
* Move reference docs into a docs/contributing dir
They're for contributors of Black anyway. Also added a note in the
summary document warning about the lack of attention the reference has
been dealing with.
* Rewrite and setup the new landing page + main TOC
- add some more detail about Black's beta status
- add licensing info
- add external links in the main TOC for GitHub, PyPI, and IRC
- prepare main TOC for new structure
* Break out AUTHORS into its own file
Not only was the AUTHORS list quite long, this makes it easy to include
it in the Sphinx docs with just a simple symlink.
* Add license to docs via a simple include
Yes the document is orphaned but it is linked to in the landing page
(docs/index.rst).
* Add "The Black Code Style" section
This mostly was a restructuring commit, there has been a few updates but
not many. The main goal was to split "current style" and "planned
changes to the style that haven't happened yet" to avoid confusion.
* Add "Getting Started" page
This is basically a quick start + even more. This commit is certainly
one of most creatively involved in this effort.
* Add "Usage and Configuration" section
This commit was as much restructuring as new content. Instead of being
in one giant file, usage and configuration documentation can expand
without bloating a single file.
* Add "Integrations" section
Just a restructuring commit ...
* Add "Guides" section
This is a promising area of documentation that could easily grow in the
future, let's prepare for that!
* Add "Contributing" section
This is also another area that I expect to see significant growth in.
Contributors to Black could definitely do with some more specific docs
that clears up certain parts of our slightly confusing project (it's
only confusing because we're getting big and old!).
* Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md to just point to RTD
* Rewrite README.md to delegate most info to RTD
* Address feedback + a lot of corrections and edits
I know I said I wanted to do these after landing this but given there's
going to be no time between this being merged and a release getting
pushed, I want these changes to make it in.
- drop the number flag for mdformat - to reduce diffs, see also:
https://mdformat.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/style.html#ordered-lists
- the GH issue templates should be safe by mdformat, so get rid of the
exclude
- clarify our configuration position - i.e. stop claiming we don't have
many options, instead say we want as little formatting knobs as
possible
- lots and lots of punctuation, spelling, and grammar corrections (thanks
Jelle!)
- use RTD as the source for the CHANGELOG too
- visual style cleanups
- add docs about our .gitignore behaviour
- expand GHA Action docs
- clarify we want the PR number in the CHANGELOG entry
- claify Black's behaviour for with statements post Python 3.9
- italicize a bunch of "Black"s
Thank you goes to Jelle, Taneli (hukkinj1 on GH), Felix
(felix-hilden on GH), and Wouter (wbolster on GH) for the feedback!
* Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into reorganize-docs-v2
merge conflicts suck, although these ones weren't too bad.
* Add changelog entry + fix merge conflict resolution error
I consider this important enough to be worthy of a changelog entry :)
* Merge branch 'master' into reorganize-docs-v2

* Actually let's continue using prettier
Prettier works fine for all of the default MyST syntax so let's not
rock the boat as much. Dropping the mdformat commit was merge-conflict
filled so here's additional commit instead.
* Address Cooper's, Taneli's, and Jelle's feedback
Lots of wording improvements by Cooper. Taneli suggested to disable the
enabled by default MyST syntax not supported by Prettier and I agreed.
And Jelle found one more spelling error!
* More minor fixes
