## Contribute

The main document describing the [guidelines on how to contribute is readable here](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). Please read it carefully in order to make sure your contribution will be easily reviewed and accepted.

### Requirements

You must have [Python language](https://www.python.org/) available on your system, and either a way to create a virtualenv with a recent version of [tox](http://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or a recent version of tox available system-wide.

To build the HTML pages, you can run on of the following commands:

```
make html
tox -e html
```

The build pages are in the ``build/`` directory. This may help you if you try to fix or translate into a new language.

You'll probably won't have to, but if you want to build PDF files, you'll need to install [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/) on your system. And you may run ``tox -e pdf`` to build PDF files.

If you want to target a specific language, you can run:

```
tox -e pdf -- french
```
