TomDoc is documentation for humans. Using a few simple rules and zero special syntax you can produce great looking documentation for both humans and machines.
Just follow these four easy steps:
- Describe your method
- Optionally list and describe its arguments
- Optionally list some examples
- Explain what your method returns
Like this:
# Duplicate some text an abitrary number of times.
#
# text - The String to be duplicated.
# count - The Integer number of times to duplicate the text.
#
# Examples
# multiplex('Tom', 4)
# # => 'TomTomTomTom'
#
# Returns the duplicated String.
def multiplex(text, count)
text * count
end
See the manual or the spec for a more in-depth analysis.
This repository contains tomdoc.rb, a Ruby library for parsing TomDoc and generating pretty documentation from it.
easy_install Pygments
gem install tomdoc
tomdoc.rb has been tested with Ruby 1.8.7.
$ tomdoc file.rb
# Prints colored documentation of file.rb.
$ tomdoc file.rb -n STRING
# Prints methods or classes in file.rb matching STRING.
$ tomdoc fileA.rb fileB.rb ...
# Prints colored documentation of multiple files.
$ tomdoc -f html file.rb
# Prints HTML documentation of file.rb.
$ tomdoc -i file.rb
# Ignore TomDoc validation, print any methods we find.
$ tomdoc -h
# Displays more options.
Fully TomDoc'd. Well, it will be.
For now:
$ tomdoc lib/tomdoc/source_parser.rb
tomdoc lib/tomdoc/source_parser.rb -n token
tomdoc -f html lib/tomdoc/source_parser.rb | browser
or
tomdoc -f html lib/tomdoc/source_parser.rb > doc.html
open doc.html
