History

Alexander Lyashuk cdc6c866ca doc: update syntax description of immutability "Stored by value" is more correct way to explain that example. Mutable vs immutable means that you cannot mutate the value (e.g. list vs tuple in Python), and the example shows that `var2` is actually mutable. Copying/storing a reference vs value is what what matters in the assignment, in Python `a=b` means `a` and `b` are references to the same list, while in meson `a=b` copies the value of `b` into `a`.		4 years ago

Meson Documentation

Build dependencies

Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.

Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.

Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.

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

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

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]
