Question

I want to use the moosedocs.py script to generate the entirety of the MOOSE documentation as a local HTML. I would like to do so on the INL cluster.

I have followed the procedure here through the "Building Application" step with no issues. From what I understand, building the documentation within the modules sub directory in MOOSE will provide the entire documentation the same as the website. Continuing in the same terminal, "cd moose/modules", "make -j 6", and "cd doc".

This is where I have been using "moosedocs.py". I do not want to use the command listed here which suggests using "./moosedocs.py build --serve" as I would like to just build the HTML website files. I tried using "./moosedocs.py build --config config.yml" which did run with a few errors (see attached), but does not generate the HTML. I have inspected the "./moosedocs.py build -h" but cannot seem to find the right options. Is there a page I am missing that contains a tutorial for how to generate MOOSE documentation into HTML on a cluster? I would also be curious how to generate it into PDF as well.

Hello

Can you just do build --serve then kill the process and check out the HTML?

I would also be curious how to generate it into PDF as well.

You can print pages one by one but we have not added a convenient way to generate a single fully-inclusive PDF. If you have an interest for developing that feature we could welcome the contribution back to the repository.
