FAQPage Schema
How do I generate C++ tutorials with Markdown explanations and code examples?▼

You can generate C++ tutorials by running the cpp-tutorial-generator on a specific topic. It creates a documentation package containing Markdown explanations, well-documented example.cpp files, and a Reveal.js presentation under docs/tutorials/[topic].

What is the best way to document C++ algorithms and data structures for students?▼

The best way to document C++ algorithms for students is automating tutorial creation to map production code to educational artifacts. This generates topic-centered Markdown explanations and simple example programs alongside the real code to teach algorithms and data-structure concepts.

Can I create Reveal.js presentations from C++ codebases for classroom teaching?▼

Yes, you can create Reveal.js presentations from C++ codebases. The generator produces a ready-to-run presentation.html file that helps learners understand algorithms, data structures, and language features alongside the actual code.

How does mapping production code to educational artifacts work for onboarding new contributors?▼

Mapping production code to educational artifacts works by using a lightweight Python-based generator and templates to create tutorials. It stores state in TUTORIAL_STATE.md and outputs structured documentation packages to help educators onboard new contributors and students.

Do I need Python to run the cpp-tutorial-generator and create documentation packages?▼

Yes, you need a Python environment to run the lightweight generator that maps production code to educational artifacts. The generator requires templates to produce the README.md, example.cpp, and Reveal.js presentation files.
