# Meson Documentation
## Build dependencies
Meson uses itself and [hotdoc](https://github.com/hotdoc/hotdoc) for generating documentation.
Minimum required version of hotdoc is *0.8.9*.
Instructions on how to install hotdoc are [here](https://hotdoc.github.io/installing.html).
## Building the documentation
From the Meson repository root dir:
```
$ cd docs/
$ meson built_docs
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
```
Now you should be able to open the documentation locally
```
built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html
```
## Upload
Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically
removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.
You can simply run:
```
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
```
## Contributing to the documentation
Commits that only change documentation should have `[skip ci]` in their commit message, so CI is not run (it is quite slow).
For example:
```
A commit message [skip ci]
```
