Sumana Harihareswara 337155f280 Remove rST files to replace with Markdown.
Currently (https://github.com/rtfd/recommonmark/issues/3)
the recommonmark bridge (which allows Sphinx to read
Markdown) does not support tables, so the directory structure
doc is now a bulleted list instead of a set of tables.
2016-05-31 10:55:49 -07:00
Sumana Harihareswara e0bc57ddb1 Rearrange docs table of contents for coherence.
The order and structure of the Read The Docs documentation
was fairly arbitrary; here's a suggestion for how to change
its information architecture so it's more useful to a new
contributor. This adds a short Zulip overview, and a table
of contents and code contribution intro for new contributors.

Fixes: #668.

Christie Koehler e06492ec3a Improve first-time contributor docs.
Fixes #747. Fixes #748.

This updates README.dev.md to include clear, step-by-step instructions
for setting up the Zulip dev environment Windows 10, OS X El Capitan,
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. It is aimed at first-time
contributors.

I tested these instructions multiple times on each of the target
systems.

Also added is a "trobleshooting and common errors" section which
documents the most common errors contributors are likely to encounter
during setup and how to fix them.

Improvements based on feedback from @timabbott.

- Fixes whitespace issues so linter will pass.
- Updates memory requirement.
- Re-orders so operating systems are listed alphabetically.
- Updates headings to be clearer.
- Updates and adds ToC entries for clarity.
- Adds screen shot of Zulip dev environment running in browser.
- Adds details about using dev environment, including about logging.
- Misc other minor changes for clarity.
- Adds a stub for docs/logging.md
- Adds details about configuring Cygwin for native symlinks.

[substantially modified by tabbott]
2016-05-09 09:55:18 -07:00
Umair Khan 5359e6b0d4 Convert Zulip to use Jinja2 templates.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.

Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.

Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`

Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
  instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
    1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
    2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
  includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
  and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.

Fixes #620.
