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.
