Enhance installation instructions and documentation for Decomp

- Updated README.md and install.rst to clarify installation methods, including direct installation from GitHub and from source. - Added requirements for Python 3.12 or higher and detailed steps for development installation with dependencies. - Improved documentation structure and content in various files, including sentence-graphs.rst and predpatt.rst, for better clarity and usability. - Refined comments and docstrings across multiple modules to enhance readability and consistency.

+# Decomp Documentation
 
-To build the documentation, you will need Sphinx and three Sphinx extensions:
+This directory contains the source files for building the Decomp documentation using Sphinx.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Install the required dependencies using the provided requirements file:
 
 ```bash
-pip install --user sphinx==3.1.2 sphinxcontrib-napoleon sphinx-autodoc-typehints sphinx_rtd_theme
+pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
-Then, while in this directory, use:
+This will install:
+- Sphinx (documentation generator)
+- sphinx-autodoc-typehints (automatic type hint documentation)
+- furo (modern documentation theme)
+- sphinx-copybutton (adds copy buttons to code blocks)
+- sphinx-design (enhanced design elements)
+- sphinx-togglebutton (collapsible sections)
+- myst-parser (Markdown support)
+
+## Building the Documentation
+
+### Build HTML Documentation
+
+To build the HTML documentation:
+
+```bash
+make html
+```
+
+The built documentation will be in `build/html/`.
+
+### Clean and Rebuild
+
+To clean the build directory and rebuild from scratch:
 
 ```bash
 make clean
 make html
 ```
 
-To view the built documentation, start a python http server with:
+## Viewing the Documentation
+
+### Method 1: Simple HTTP Server
+
+To serve the documentation locally:
+
+```bash
+python -m http.server --directory build/html 8000
+```
+
+Then open your browser to http://localhost:8000
+
+### Method 2: Auto-rebuild During Development
 
+For development with automatic rebuilding when files change:
 
 ```bash
-python3 -m http.server
+pip install sphinx-autobuild
+sphinx-autobuild source build/html
 ```
 
-Then, navigate to [http://localhost:8000/build/html/](http://localhost:8000/build/html/) in your browser.
+This will:
+- Serve the documentation at http://localhost:8000
+- Watch for changes in the source files
+- Automatically rebuild and refresh your browser
+
+## Other Build Formats
+
+Sphinx can build documentation in various formats:
+
+```bash
+make latexpdf # Build PDF documentation (requires LaTeX)
+make epub # Build EPUB format
+make json # Build JSON format
+make text # Build plain text format
+```
+
+## Documentation Structure
+
+- `source/` - Source files for the documentation
+ - `conf.py` - Sphinx configuration file
+ - `index.rst` - Main documentation index
+ - `tutorial/` - Tutorial pages
+ - `package/` - API documentation (auto-generated)
+ - `_static/` - Static files (CSS, images)
+ - `_ext/` - Custom Sphinx extensions
+- `build/` - Built documentation (git-ignored)
+- `requirements.txt` - Python dependencies for building docs
+- `Makefile` - Build commands for Unix/Linux/macOS
+- `make.bat` - Build commands for Windows
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. **ImportError**: Make sure you've installed the package in development mode:
+ ```bash
+ cd ..
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
+ ```
+
+2. **Theme not found**: Ensure all requirements are installed:
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+
+3. **Build warnings**: Sphinx treats warnings as errors by default. To build despite warnings:
+ ```bash
+ make html SPHINXOPTS=""
+ ```
+
+## Contributing to Documentation
+
+When adding new documentation:
+
+1. Write new pages in reStructuredText (`.rst`) format in the appropriate directory
+2. Add new pages to the relevant `index.rst` file's table of contents
+3. For API documentation, ensure your code has proper docstrings
+4. Run `make clean && make html` to test your changes
+5. Check for any warnings or errors in the build output
