Writing Qt Design Studio Documentation

The Qt Design Studio Manual is based on the Qt Creator Manual, with additional topics. When building the Qt Design Studio Manual, parts of the Qt Creator Manual are pulled in from Qt Creator sources. This is enabled by creating separate table of contents files for each Manual and by using defines to hide and show information depending on which Manual is being built.

Because branding information is needed to use the correct product name and version, you must run qmake -r on qtcreator.pro with the IDE_BRANDING_PRI option set to the absolute path of ide_branding.pri in the Qt Design Studio repository.

For example, on Windows enter (all on one line):

C:\dev\qtc-super\qtcreator>..\..\..\Qt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin\qmake.exe qtcreator.pro -r IDE_BRANDING_PRI=C:\dev\tqtc-plugin-qtquickdesigner\studiodata\branding\ide_branding.pri

Building the Qt Design Studio Manual

  1. Run qmake from Qt 5.14.0, or later with the path to the branding information as a parameter: <relative_path_to>\qmake.exe qtcreator.pro -r IDE_BRANDING_PRI=<absolute_path_to>\tqtc-plugin-qtquickdesigner\studiodata\branding\ide_branding.pri
  2. Run make docs on Linux and macOS or nmake docs on Windows.

The docs are generated in qtcreator\doc\html\qtdesignstudio with the Qt Design Studio branding.
