A Cargo subcommand for building and previewing Typst specification documents. Run it inside a project containing `docs/main.typ` to generate a local reading page, watch source changes, and produce a versioned PDF when needed.
## Installation
### Via Cargo (Recommended for Rust developers)
```powershell
cargo install fy-docs
```
The installed executable is `cargo-fy-docs`, which Cargo discovers as the `cargo fy-docs` command.
### Pre-built Binaries (Direct Download)
Pre-compiled binaries for **Windows (x64 / ARM64)**, **macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel)**, **Linux (x64 / ARM64, musl static)**, and **FreeBSD (x64)** are available on the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/fengyangsi/fy-docs/releases) page. Download the archive for your platform, extract `cargo-fy-docs` into a directory on your `PATH`, and run:
```powershell
cargo-fy-docs --version
```
## Usage
```powershell
# Scaffold a docs/ directory with a starter main.typ, embedded fy-spec template, and modules/ folder.
cargo fy-docs init
# Full build: compile all language HTML pages and PDF 2.0 specifications (default command, CI-safe).
cargo fy-docs
# or explicitly:
cargo fy-docs build
# Build offline HTML documentation only.
cargo fy-docs html
# Build versioned PDF 2.0 specification(s) only.
cargo fy-docs pdf
# Interactive development: start local dev server with live reload and browser preview.
cargo fy-docs dev
```
Common options:
```powershell
cargo fy-docs --lang zh-CN # Target a specific language
cargo fy-docs --open # Open in browser after build
cargo fy-docs --root D:\Code # Explicitly specify Typst root
cargo fy-docs --with-pdf # html/dev: also compile the print-edition PDF
cargo fy-docs dev --port 8181 # Customize dev server port
cargo fy-docs dev --no-open # Dev mode without opening a browser
```
## Output
| Offline HTML reading page | `docs/target/index.html` |
| Print-edition PDF | `docs/release/<package>_v<version>[_<lang>]_specification.pdf` |
The package name and version are read from `[package]` in `Cargo.toml`, including Cargo workspace inheritance. If the manifest has no package metadata, fy-docs falls back to the document's `version:` field and then to `0.1.0`.
## Document Layout
Single-language documentation layout:
```text
project/
├── Cargo.toml
├── src/
└── docs/
├── main.typ # Single Typst entry point
├── fy-spec/ # Embedded template library (lib.typ, self-contained)
├── modules/ # Specification source by module
├── target/ # Generated HTML reading pages (Git ignored)
└── release/ # Versioned specification PDFs (Git ignored)
```
Multilingual (i18n) documentation layout:
```text
project/
├── Cargo.toml
├── src/
└── docs/
├── fy-spec/ # Shared embedded template library (lib.typ)
├── zh-CN/ # Simplified Chinese specification
│ ├── main.typ
│ └── modules/
├── en/ # English specification
│ ├── main.typ
│ └── modules/
├── target/ # Generated index.html, index_zh-CN.html, index_en.html
└── release/ # Versioned PDFs for each language
```
`docs/fy-spec/` contains the embedded styling templates (ISO B5 layout, semantic contract boxes, badges), ensuring specification documents are fully self-contained and reproducible without external dependencies.
`docs/target/` and `docs/release/` are generated artifacts and should be ignored by Git. They are intentionally separate from Cargo's `target/release/` program artifacts.
## Requirements
`typst` must be available on `PATH` (Typst 0.14 or later — the `--pdf-standard 2.0` flag fy-docs passes requires it). fy-docs is developed and tested against Typst 0.15.
