This repository contains the source files of Godot Engine's documentation, in reStructuredText markup language (reST).

They are meant to be parsed with the Sphinx documentation builder to build the HTML documentation on Godot's website.

You can download an HTML copy for offline reading (updated every Monday). Extract the ZIP archive then open the top-level index.html in a web browser.

The Godot documentation uses the default sphinx_rtd_theme with many customizations applied on top. It will automatically switch between the light and dark theme depending on your browser/OS' theming preference.

If you use Firefox and wish to use the dark theme regardless of your OS configuration, you can install the Dark Website Forcer add-on.

All contributors are welcome to help on the Godot documentation.
