|
The Qt Design Studio Manual is based on the Qt Creator Manual, with
|
|
|
|
|
additional topics. For more information, see the `README` file in the
|
|
|
|
|
qtdesignstudio subfolder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Extending Qt Creator Manual has its own sources. In addition, it
|
|
|
|
|
pulls in API reference documentation from the Qt Creator source files.

# QDoc
|
2020-02-10 13:28:29 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the documents are built when you enter `make docs` on Linux or
|
2020-02-18 15:59:42 +01:00
|
|
|
macOS or `nmake docs` on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since Qt Creator 4.12, you need to use QDoc Qt 5.14 or later to build
|
|
|
|
|
the docs. While building with QDoc from Qt 5.11 or later technically
|
|
|
|
|
works, the Qt Creator Manual and Qt Design Studio Manual link to newer
|
|
|
|
|
Qt modules, which means link errors will be printed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please make the docs before submitting code changes to make sure that
|
|
|
|
|
you do not introduce new QDoc warnings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While working on changes that introduce lots of warnings about missing API
|
|
|
|
|
documentation, for example, you can enter an option to write the doc
|
|
|
|
|
errors to the log. This helps make doc builds faster until you have
|
|
|
|
|
fixed the errors. For example, on Windows enter `nmake docs 2> log.txt`.
