For the simplest test-run just use the `--builtin-classes` option to
automatically produce documentation for JavaScript builtin classes
like Array, String and Object:

    $ jsduck --builtin-classes --output your/docs
write documentation for JavaScript builtin classes like Array, String
and Object into `docs` directory:

You can also use `--verbose` option to see what's actually happening.
    $ jsduck --builtin-classes --output docs

To generate docs for Ext JS 4 add path to the corresponding src/ dir:
To generate docs for [Ext JS 4][] add path to the corresponding src/ dir:

    $ jsduck ext-4.1.1/src \
             --builtin-classes \
             --images ext-4.1.1/docs/images \
             --warnings=-no_doc,-dup_member,-link_ambiguous \
             --external XMLHttpRequest \
             --output your/docs
    $ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src --output docs

The `--images` option specifies a path for images included with
`{@img}` tags inside the source code.
And to create docs for your own Ext JS project, list the directory
with your files in addition to the Ext JS source files (this way the
docs of your classes will list all the properties and methods they
inherit from Ext JS classes):

The `--warnings` option disables some of the warnings which you would
otherwise be overwhelmed with. That's because Ext JS 4.1.1 was
released when JSDuck 4 wasn't out yet.  Sorry for that, JSDuck just
wants to be helpful. Similarly the `--external` option defines
`XMLHttpRequest` as an external class, otherwise a warning would be
thrown.
    $ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src my-project/js --output docs

Another thing that often happens is that JSDuck is unable to determine
into which class a member belongs and will place all such items into a
global class - you can disable this using the `--ignore-global`
switch.  For full list of all command line options type
`jsduck --help`.  For help on a specific option use
`--help=--some-option`.
Unfortunately the above will throw lots of warnings at you, as
building the full Ext JS docs requires lots of additional settings.
For start you might want to simply ignore all these warnings
originating from Ext JS source:

To generate docs for your own project, simply name additional input
directories:
    $ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src my-project/js --output docs \
             --warnings=-all:ext-4.2.1/src

    $ jsduck ext-4.1.1/src project1/js project2/js ...
But see the [Usage guide][] for more information on building Ext JS 4
docs.

Note that the resulting documentation will only contain the API
documentation.  Guides, videos and examples will not be present.
These can be added using more command line options as explained in the
[documentation][].
