Wyatt Alt 0b45ef93c0 docs: assorted copyedits (#1998)
This includes a handful of minor edits I made while reading the docs. In
addition to a few spelling fixes,
* standardize on "rerank" over "re-rank" in prose
* terminate sentences with periods or colons as appropriate
* replace some usage of dashes with colons, such as in "Try it yourself
- <link>"

All changes are surface-level. No changes to semantics or structure.

LanceDB Documentation

LanceDB docs are deployed to https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/.

Docs is built and deployed automatically by Github Actions whenever a commit is pushed to the main branch. So it is possible for the docs to show unreleased features.

Building the docs

Setup

  1. Install LanceDB. From LanceDB repo root: pip install -e python
  2. Install dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
  3. Make sure you have node and npm setup
  4. Make sure protobuf and libssl are installed

Building node module and create markdown files

See Javascript docs README

Build docs

From LanceDB repo root:

Run: PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml

If successful, you should see a docs/site directory that you can verify locally.

Run local server

You can run a local server to test the docs prior to deployment by navigating to the docs directory and running the following command:

cd docs
mkdocs serve

Run doctest for typescript example

cd lancedb/docs
npm i
npm run build
npm run all
