# Documentation - Sphinx

This `docs` folder contains the configuration and source files needed to build the HTML documentation for the **Air Quality Forecasting** project using Sphinx. Sphinx allows us to generate clean, navigable HTML documentation directly from the project's docstrings and reStructuredText (`.rst`) files.

## 📖 Usage

### Generating HTML Documentation

To build (or re-build) the HTML documentation, navigate to the `docs` folder in your terminal and use one of the following commands:

- **On Unix-based systems** (Linux/macOS):
  ```bash
  make clean
  make html
  ```
  
- **On Windows systems**
  ```bash
  make clean
  make html
  ```

- **Note that sometimes Windows systems might require you to trust the `make` command, in this case, you should run**
  ```bash
  .\make clean
  .\make html
  ```

### Accessing the Documentation
The documentation can be accessed in HTML form by navigating and opening `docs/_build/html/index.html`. This will display the documentation page in your preferred browser.
