$DEBUG_RDOC = nil # :main: README.rdoc ## # RDoc is a Ruby documentation system which contains RDoc::RDoc for generating # documentation, RDoc::RI for interactive documentation and RDoc::Markup for # text markup. # # RDoc::RDoc produces documentation for Ruby source files. It works similarly # to JavaDoc, parsing the source and extracting the definition for classes, # modules, methods, includes and requires. It associates these with optional # documentation contained in an immediately preceding comment block then # renders the result using an output formatter. # # RDoc::Markup that converts plain text into various output formats. The # markup library is used to interpret the comment blocks that RDoc uses to # document methods, classes, and so on. # # RDoc::RI implements the +ri+ command-line tool which displays on-line # documentation for ruby classes, methods, etc. +ri+ features several output # formats and an interactive mode (ri -i). See ri --help # for further details. # # == Roadmap # # * If you think you found a bug in RDoc see DEVELOPERS@Bugs # * If you want to use RDoc to create documentation for your Ruby source files, # see RDoc::Markup and refer to rdoc --help for command line # usage. # * If you want to store rdoc configuration in your gem see # RDoc::Options@Saved+Options # * If you want to write documentation for Ruby files see RDoc::Parser::Ruby # * If you want to write documentation for extensions written in C see # RDoc::Parser::C # * If you want to generate documentation using rake see RDoc::Task. # * If you want to drive RDoc programmatically, see RDoc::RDoc. # * If you want to use the library to format text blocks into HTML or other # formats, look at RDoc::Markup. # * If you want to make an RDoc plugin such as a generator or directive # handler see RDoc::RDoc. # * If you want to write your own output generator see RDoc::Generator. # * If you want an overview of how RDoc works see DEVELOPERS # # == Summary # # Once installed, you can create documentation using the +rdoc+ command # # % rdoc [options] [names...] # # For an up-to-date option summary, type # # % rdoc --help # # A typical use might be to generate documentation for a package of Ruby # source (such as RDoc itself). # # % rdoc # # This command generates documentation for all the Ruby and C source # files in and below the current directory. These will be stored in a # documentation tree starting in the subdirectory +doc+. # # You can make this slightly more useful for your readers by having the # index page contain the documentation for the primary file. In our # case, we could type # # % rdoc --main README.rdoc # # You'll find information on the various formatting tricks you can use # in comment blocks in the documentation this generates. # # RDoc uses file extensions to determine how to process each file. File names # ending +.rb+ and +.rbw+ are assumed to be Ruby source. Files # ending +.c+ are parsed as C files. All other files are assumed to # contain just Markup-style markup (with or without leading '#' comment # markers). If directory names are passed to RDoc, they are scanned # recursively for C and Ruby source files only. # # == Other stuff # # RDoc is currently being maintained by Eric Hodel . # # Dave Thomas is the original author of RDoc. # # == Credits # # * The Ruby parser in rdoc/parse.rb is based heavily on the outstanding # work of Keiju ISHITSUKA of Nippon Rational Inc, who produced the Ruby # parser for irb and the rtags package. module RDoc ## # Exception thrown by any rdoc error. class Error < RuntimeError; end def self.const_missing const_name # :nodoc: if const_name.to_s == 'RDocError' then warn "RDoc::RDocError is deprecated and will be removed in RDoc 4" return Error end super end ## # RDoc version you are using VERSION = '3.12.2' ## # Method visibilities VISIBILITIES = [:public, :protected, :private] ## # Name of the dotfile that contains the description of files to be processed # in the current directory DOT_DOC_FILENAME = ".document" ## # General RDoc modifiers GENERAL_MODIFIERS = %w[nodoc].freeze ## # RDoc modifiers for classes CLASS_MODIFIERS = GENERAL_MODIFIERS ## # RDoc modifiers for attributes ATTR_MODIFIERS = GENERAL_MODIFIERS ## # RDoc modifiers for constants CONSTANT_MODIFIERS = GENERAL_MODIFIERS ## # RDoc modifiers for methods METHOD_MODIFIERS = GENERAL_MODIFIERS + %w[arg args yield yields notnew not-new not_new doc] ## # Loads the best available YAML library. def self.load_yaml begin gem 'psych' rescue Gem::LoadError end begin require 'psych' rescue ::LoadError ensure require 'yaml' end end autoload :RDoc, 'rdoc/rdoc' autoload :TestCase, 'rdoc/test_case' autoload :CrossReference, 'rdoc/cross_reference' autoload :ERBIO, 'rdoc/erbio' autoload :Encoding, 'rdoc/encoding' autoload :Generator, 'rdoc/generator' autoload :Options, 'rdoc/options' autoload :Parser, 'rdoc/parser' autoload :RI, 'rdoc/ri' autoload :Stats, 'rdoc/stats' autoload :Task, 'rdoc/task' autoload :Text, 'rdoc/text' autoload :Markup, 'rdoc/markup' autoload :RD, 'rdoc/rd' autoload :TomDoc, 'rdoc/tom_doc' autoload :KNOWN_CLASSES, 'rdoc/known_classes' autoload :RubyLex, 'rdoc/ruby_lex' autoload :RubyToken, 'rdoc/ruby_token' autoload :TokenStream, 'rdoc/token_stream' autoload :Comment, 'rdoc/comment' # code objects # # We represent the various high-level code constructs that appear in Ruby # programs: classes, modules, methods, and so on. autoload :CodeObject, 'rdoc/code_object' autoload :Context, 'rdoc/context' autoload :TopLevel, 'rdoc/top_level' autoload :AnonClass, 'rdoc/anon_class' autoload :ClassModule, 'rdoc/class_module' autoload :NormalClass, 'rdoc/normal_class' autoload :NormalModule, 'rdoc/normal_module' autoload :SingleClass, 'rdoc/single_class' autoload :Alias, 'rdoc/alias' autoload :AnyMethod, 'rdoc/any_method' autoload :MethodAttr, 'rdoc/method_attr' autoload :GhostMethod, 'rdoc/ghost_method' autoload :MetaMethod, 'rdoc/meta_method' autoload :Attr, 'rdoc/attr' autoload :Constant, 'rdoc/constant' autoload :Include, 'rdoc/include' autoload :Require, 'rdoc/require' end
