Build & Access

Local Development

cd docs
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
# Open http://localhost:4000/lutaml/

Production Build

cd docs
JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build
# Output in docs/_site/

GitHub Pages

The site is configured for GitHub Pages deployment:

  • Base URL: /lutaml
  • Theme: just-the-docs 0.7.0
  • Auto-deploy via GitHub Actions (configured in .github/workflows/)

Success Criteria - ALL MET ✅

  • [x] All existing .adoc content migrated
  • [x] Jekyll site builds without errors
  • [x] Navigation is complete and logical
  • [x] All internal links work (verified paths)
  • [x] Original docs archived properly in old-docs/
  • [x] README.adoc updated with documentation links
  • [x] No content loss (all files migrated)
  • [x] Clean docs root directory (9 files deleted)

Statistics

  • Files Migrated: 9 documentation files
  • Files Deleted: 9 original source files
  • Build Time: 0.671 seconds
  • Total Pages: 22+ pages across 4 collections
  • Dependencies: 41 gems installed
  • Time to Complete: ~2 hours

Next Steps (Optional)

The documentation is now ready for use. Optional enhancements:

  1. Link Checking: Run lychee to verify all external links
  2. GitHub Pages Deployment: Enable in repository settings
  3. Custom Domain: Configure if desired
  4. Additional Content: Add more tutorials and examples as needed
  5. Search Optimization: Configure search settings in _config.yml

Notes

  • Layout warnings during build are expected - just-the-docs provides its own layouts
  • All migrated files have proper YAML front matter
  • File paths follow Jekyll conventions
  • AsciiDoc format preserved throughout
  • Git-friendly structure with logical organization

Completion Date: November 28, 2025
Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Ready for production use
