Hi @Freed-Wu! Do you have an example of a project building with ldoc?

You can use asdf to install Lua in the builder, with something like the following:

version: 2

build:
  os: ubuntu-latest
  jobs:
    pre_install:
      - asdf plugin-add lua https://github.com/Stratus3D/asdf-lua.git
      - asdf install lua latest
      - asdf global lua latest
    install:
      # Install ldoc
      - luarocks install ldoc
    build:
      html:
        # Run the commands required to build the project's documentation

Let me know if that works.

I use hererocks: here

Cool, it seems you were able to make this work in https://app.readthedocs.org/projects/prompt-style-lua/builds/26560354/ 🎉

I will close this issue since we won't add build.tools.lua in the near future. We can re-open in the future if we need to re-consider this.
