I'd like the contents of doc/README_FOR_APP appear in doc/app/index.html, when I do rake doc:app.
Currently, the content is:
This is the API documentation for Rails Application Documentation.
To see README_FOR_APP, I have to click on README_FOR_APP in the pages list on the left.
I've looked at How to Rename or Move Rails's README_FOR_APP but the OP asserts that he's already seeing the behaviour I want.
I'm using rails 3.1.3.
Firstly, create a new rake file (e.g lib/tasks/documentation.rake) in your project. Then redefine the rake task:
Rake::Task["doc:app"].clear Rake::Task["doc/app"].clear Rake::Task["doc/app/index.html"].clear namespace :doc do Rake::RDocTask.new('app') do |rdoc| rdoc.rdoc_dir = 'doc/app' rdoc.title = 'YOUR_TITLE' rdoc.main = 'doc/README_FOR_APP' # define README_FOR_APP as index rdoc.options << '--charset' << 'utf-8' rdoc.rdoc_files.include('app/**/*.rb') rdoc.rdoc_files.include('lib/**/*.rb') rdoc.rdoc_files.include('doc/README_FOR_APP') end end
