Godot Engine documentation

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.

Download for offline use

To browse the documentation offline, you can use the mirror of the documentation hosted on DevDocs. To enable offline browsing on DevDocs, you need to:

  • Click the three dots in the top-left corner, choose Preferences.
  • Enable the desired version of the Godot documentation by checking the box next to it in the sidebar.
  • Click the three dots in the top-left corner, choose Offline data.
  • Click the Install link next to the Godot documentation.

You can also 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.

For mobile devices or e-readers, you can also download an ePub copy for offline reading (updated every Monday). Extract the ZIP archive then open the GodotEngine.epub file in an e-book reader application.

Theming

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.
