Marian NMT code documentation and library API

This directory contains code documentation and library API for developers of Marian NMT.

The documentation is generated using Sphinx + Breathe + Doxygen + Exhale. The documentation source code is written in .rst or .md files with special directives that allow to reference to C++ source code and documentation. The source documents are then build into static HTML pages.

Installation

Then set up a Python environment and install modules:

Documentation building should also work on Windows, but it has not been tested.
