Generating Documentation

In an XML environment, the simplest way to generate HTML documentation is to transform the .radl file using the radl2html.xsl stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor. We test this stylesheet with Saxon HE 9.6, which is an open-source edition of Saxon.

The radl.core.documentation.DocumentationGenerator class generates HTML documentation from RADL using radl2html.xsl. This class supports the following arguments:

• The directory in which to generate the documentation
• An optional css URL to customize the style of the documentation
• One or more RADL files for which to generate documentation

The easiest way to generate documentation in your Continuous Integration build is using the RADL Gradle RADL Plugin or Maven RADL plugin.
