##
# RDoc::Markup parses plain text documents and attempts to decompose them into
# their constituent parts. Some of these parts are high-level: paragraphs,
# chunks of verbatim text, list entries and the like. Other parts happen at
# the character level: a piece of bold text, a word in code font. This markup
# is similar in spirit to that used on WikiWiki webs, where folks create web
# pages using a simple set of formatting rules.
#
# RDoc::Markup and other markup formats do no output formatting, this is
# handled by the RDoc::Markup::Formatter subclasses.
#
# = Supported Formats
#
# Besides the RDoc::Markup format, the following formats are built in to RDoc:
#
# markdown::
# The markdown format as described by
# http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/. See RDoc::Markdown for
# details on the parser and supported extensions.
# rd::
# The rdtool format. See RDoc::RD for details on the parser and format.
# tomdoc::
# The TomDoc format as described by http://tomdoc.org/. See RDoc::TomDoc
# for details on the parser and supported extensions.
#
# You can choose a markup format using the following methods:
#
# per project::
# If you build your documentation with rake use RDoc::Task#markup.
#
# If you build your documentation by hand run:
#
# rdoc --markup your_favorite_format --write-options
#
# and commit .rdoc_options and ship it with your packaged gem.
# per file::
# At the top of the file use the :markup: directive to set the
# default format for the rest of the file.
# per comment::
# Use the :markup: directive at the top of a comment you want
# to write in a different format.
#
# = RDoc::Markup
#
# RDoc::Markup is extensible at runtime: you can add \new markup elements to
# be recognized in the documents that RDoc::Markup parses.
#
# RDoc::Markup is intended to be the basis for a family of tools which share
# the common requirement that simple, plain-text should be rendered in a
# variety of different output formats and media. It is envisaged that
# RDoc::Markup could be the basis for formatting RDoc style comment blocks,
# Wiki entries, and online FAQs.
#
# == Synopsis
#
# This code converts +input_string+ to HTML. The conversion takes place in
# the +convert+ method, so you can use the same RDoc::Markup converter to
# convert multiple input strings.
#
# require 'rdoc'
#
# h = RDoc::Markup::ToHtml.new
#
# puts h.convert(input_string)
#
# You can extend the RDoc::Markup parser to recognize new markup
# sequences, and to add special processing for text that matches a
# regular expression. Here we make WikiWords significant to the parser,
# and also make the sequences {word} and \", "")
#
# puts "
)
#
# Unlike conventional Wiki markup, general markup can cross line
# boundaries. You can turn off the interpretation of markup by
# preceding the first character with a backslash (see Escaping
# Text Markup, below).
#
# === Links
#
# Links to starting with +http:+, +https:+, +mailto:+, +ftp:+ or +www.+
# are recognized. An HTTP url that references an external image is converted
# into an inline image element.
#
# Classes and methods will be automatically linked to their definition. For
# example, RDoc::Markup will link to this documentation. By default
# methods will only be automatically linked if they contain an _ (all
# methods can be automatically linked through the --hyperlink-all
# command line option).
#
# Single-word methods can be linked by using the # character for
# instance methods or :: for class methods. For example,
# #convert links to #convert. A class or method may be combined like
# RDoc::Markup#convert.
#
# A heading inside the documentation can be linked by following the class
# or method by an @ then the heading name.
# RDoc::Markup@Links will link to this section like this:
# RDoc::Markup@Links. Spaces in headings with multiple words must be escaped
# with + like RDoc::Markup@Escaping+Text+Markup.
# Punctuation and other special characters must be escaped like CGI.escape.
#
# Links can also be of the form label[url], in which case +label+ is
# used in the displayed text, and +url+ is used as the target. If +label+
# contains multiple words, put it in braces: {multi word label}[url].
# The +url+ may be an +http:+-type link or a cross-reference to a class,
# module or method with a label.
#
# Links with the rdoc-ref: scheme will link to the referenced class,
# module, method, file, etc. If the referenced item is does not exist
# no link will be generated and rdoc-ref: will be removed from the
# resulting text.
#
# Links starting with rdoc-label:label_name will link to the
# +label_name+. You can create a label for the current link (for
# bidirectional links) by supplying a name for the current link like
# rdoc-label:label-other:label-mine.
#
# Links starting with +link:+ refer to local files whose path is relative to
# the --op directory. Use rdoc-ref: instead of
# link: to link to files generated by RDoc as the link target may
# be different across RDoc generators.
#
# Example links:
#
# https://github.com/rdoc/rdoc
# mailto:user@example.com
# {RDoc Documentation}[http://rdoc.rubyforge.org]
# {RDoc Markup}[rdoc-ref:RDoc::Markup]
#
# === Escaping Text Markup
#
# Text markup can be escaped with a backslash, as in \, which was obtained
# with \\. Except in verbatim sections and between \ tags,
# to produce a backslash you have to double it unless it is followed by a
# space, tab or newline. Otherwise, the HTML formatter will discard it, as it
# is used to escape potential links:
#
# * The \ must be doubled if not followed by white space: \\.
# * But not in \ tags: in a Regexp, \S matches non-space.
# * This is a link to {ruby-lang}[www.ruby-lang.org].
# * This is not a link, however: \{ruby-lang.org}[www.ruby-lang.org].
# * This will not be linked to \RDoc::RDoc#document
#
# generates:
#
# * The \ must be doubled if not followed by white space: \\.
# * But not in \ tags: in a Regexp, \S matches non-space.
# * This is a link to {ruby-lang}[www.ruby-lang.org]
# * This is not a link, however: \{ruby-lang.org}[www.ruby-lang.org]
# * This will not be linked to \RDoc::RDoc#document
#
# Inside \ tags, more precisely, leading backslashes are removed only if
# followed by a markup character (<*_+), a backslash, or a known link
# reference (a known class or method). So in the example above, the backslash
# of \S would be removed if there was a class or module named +S+ in
# the current context.
#
# This behavior is inherited from RDoc version 1, and has been kept for
# compatibility with existing RDoc documentation.
#
# === Conversion of characters
#
# HTML will convert two/three dashes to an em-dash. Other common characters are
# converted as well:
#
# em-dash:: -- or ---
# ellipsis:: ...
#
# single quotes:: 'text' or `text'
# double quotes:: "text" or ``text''
#
# copyright:: (c)
# registered trademark:: (r)
#
# produces:
#
# em-dash:: -- or ---
# ellipsis:: ...
#
# single quotes:: 'text' or `text'
# double quotes:: "text" or ``text''
#
# copyright:: (c)
# registered trademark:: (r)
#
#
# == Documenting Source Code
#
# Comment blocks can be written fairly naturally, either using # on
# successive lines of the comment, or by including the comment in
# a =begin/=end block. If you use the latter form,
# the =begin line _must_ be flagged with an +rdoc+ tag:
#
# =begin rdoc
# Documentation to be processed by RDoc.
#
# ...
# =end
#
# RDoc stops processing comments if it finds a comment line starting
# with -- right after the # character (otherwise,
# it will be treated as a rule if it has three dashes or more).
# This can be used to separate external from internal comments,
# or to stop a comment being associated with a method, class, or module.
# Commenting can be turned back on with a line that starts with ++.
#
# ##
# # Extract the age and calculate the date-of-birth.
# #--
# # FIXME: fails if the birthday falls on February 29th
# #++
# # The DOB is returned as a Time object.
#
# def get_dob(person)
# # ...
# end
#
# Names of classes, files, and any method names containing an underscore or
# preceded by a hash character are automatically linked from comment text to
# their description. This linking works inside the current class or module,
# and with ancestor methods (in included modules or in the superclass).
#
# Method parameter lists are extracted and displayed with the method
# description. If a method calls +yield+, then the parameters passed to yield
# will also be displayed:
#
# def fred
# ...
# yield line, address
#
# This will get documented as:
#
# fred() { |line, address| ... }
#
# You can override this using a comment containing ':yields: ...' immediately
# after the method definition
#
# def fred # :yields: index, position
# # ...
#
# yield line, address
#
# which will get documented as
#
# fred() { |index, position| ... }
#
# +:yields:+ is an example of a documentation directive. These appear
# immediately after the start of the document element they are modifying.
#
# RDoc automatically cross-references words with underscores or camel-case.
# To suppress cross-references, prefix the word with a \ character. To
# include special characters like "\n", you'll need to use
# two \ characters in normal text, but only one in \ text:
#
# "\\n" or "\n"
#
# produces:
#
# "\\n" or "\n"
#
# == Directives
#
# Directives are keywords surrounded by ":" characters.
#
# === Controlling what is documented
#
# [+:nodoc:+ / :nodoc: all]
# This directive prevents documentation for the element from
# being generated. For classes and modules, methods, aliases,
# constants, and attributes directly within the affected class or
# module also will be omitted. By default, though, modules and
# classes within that class or module _will_ be documented. This is
# turned off by adding the +all+ modifier.
#
# module MyModule # :nodoc:
# class Input
# end
# end
#
# module OtherModule # :nodoc: all
# class Output
# end
# end
#
# In the above code, only class MyModule::Input will be documented.
#
# The +:nodoc:+ directive, like +:enddoc:+, +:stopdoc:+ and +:startdoc:+
# presented below, is local to the current file: if you do not want to
# document a module that appears in several files, specify +:nodoc:+ on each
# appearance, at least once per file.
#
# [+:stopdoc:+ / +:startdoc:+]
# Stop and start adding new documentation elements to the current container.
# For example, if a class has a number of constants that you don't want to
# document, put a +:stopdoc:+ before the first, and a +:startdoc:+ after the
# last. If you don't specify a +:startdoc:+ by the end of the container,
# disables documentation for the rest of the current file.
#
# [+:doc:+]
# Forces a method or attribute to be documented even if it wouldn't be
# otherwise. Useful if, for example, you want to include documentation of a
# particular private method.
#
# [+:enddoc:+]
# Document nothing further at the current level: directives +:startdoc:+ and
# +:doc:+ that appear after this will not be honored for the current container
# (file, class or module), in the current file.
#
# [+:notnew:+ / +:not_new:+ / +:not-new:+ ]
# Only applicable to the +initialize+ instance method. Normally RDoc
# assumes that the documentation and parameters for +initialize+ are
# actually for the +new+ method, and so fakes out a +new+ for the class.
# The +:notnew:+ directive stops this. Remember that +initialize+ is private,
# so you won't see the documentation unless you use the +-a+ command line
# option.
#
# === Method arguments
#
# [+:arg:+ or +:args:+ _parameters_]
# Overrides the default argument handling with exactly these parameters.
#
# ##
# # :args: a, b
#
# def some_method(*a)
# end
#
# [+:yield:+ or +:yields:+ _parameters_]
# Overrides the default yield discovery with these parameters.
#
# ##
# # :yields: key, value
#
# def each_thing &block
# @things.each(&block)
# end
#
# [+:call-seq:+]
# Lines up to the next blank line or lines with a common prefix in the
# comment are treated as the method's calling sequence, overriding the
# default parsing of method parameters and yield arguments.
#
# Multiple lines may be used.
#
# # :call-seq:
# # ARGF.readlines(sep=$/) -> array
# # ARGF.readlines(limit) -> array
# # ARGF.readlines(sep, limit) -> array
# #
# # ARGF.to_a(sep=$/) -> array
# # ARGF.to_a(limit) -> array
# # ARGF.to_a(sep, limit) -> array
# #
# # The remaining lines are documentation ...
#
# === Sections
#
# Sections allow you to group methods in a class into sensible containers. If
# you use the sections 'Public', 'Internal' and 'Deprecated' (the three
# allowed method statuses from TomDoc) the sections will be displayed in that
# order placing the most useful methods at the top. Otherwise, sections will
# be displayed in alphabetical order.
#
# [+:category:+ _section_]
# Adds this item to the named +section+ overriding the current section. Use
# this to group methods by section in RDoc output while maintaining a
# sensible ordering (like alphabetical).
#
# # :category: Utility Methods
# #
# # CGI escapes +text+
#
# def convert_string text
# CGI.escapeHTML text
# end
#
# An empty category will place the item in the default category:
#
# # :category:
# #
# # This method is in the default category
#
# def some_method
# # ...
# end
#
# Unlike the :section: directive, :category: is not sticky. The category
# only applies to the item immediately following the comment.
#
# Use the :section: directive to provide introductory text for a section of
# documentation.
#
# [+:section:+ _title_]
# Provides section introductory text in RDoc output. The title following
# +:section:+ is used as the section name and the remainder of the comment
# containing the section is used as introductory text. A section's comment
# block must be separated from following comment blocks. Use an empty title
# to switch to the default section.
#
# The :section: directive is sticky, so subsequent methods, aliases,
# attributes, and classes will be contained in this section until the
# section is changed. The :category: directive will override the :section:
# directive.
#
# A :section: comment block may have one or more lines before the :section:
# directive. These will be removed, and any identical lines at the end of
# the block are also removed. This allows you to add visual cues to the
# section.
#
# Example:
#
# # ----------------------------------------
# # :section: My Section
# # This is the section that I wrote.
# # See it glisten in the noon-day sun.
# # ----------------------------------------
#
# ##
# # Comment for some_method
#
# def some_method
# # ...
# end
#
# === Other directives
#
# [+:markup:+ _type_]
# Overrides the default markup type for this comment with the specified
# markup type. For ruby files, if the first comment contains this directive
# it is applied automatically to all comments in the file.
#
# Unless you are converting between markup formats you should use a
# .rdoc_options
file to specify the default documentation
# format for your entire project. See RDoc::Options@Saved+Options for
# instructions.
#
# At the top of a file the +:markup:+ directive applies to the entire file:
#
# # coding: UTF-8
# # :markup: TomDoc
#
# # TomDoc comment here ...
#
# class MyClass
# # ...
#
# For just one comment:
#
# # ...
# end
#
# # :markup: RDoc
# #
# # This is a comment in RDoc markup format ...
#
# def some_method
# # ...
#
# See Markup@DEVELOPERS for instructions on adding a new markup format.
#
# [+:include:+ _filename_]
# Include the contents of the named file at this point. This directive
# must appear alone on one line, possibly preceded by spaces. In this
# position, it can be escaped with a \ in front of the first colon.
#
# The file will be searched for in the directories listed by the +--include+
# option, or in the current directory by default. The contents of the file
# will be shifted to have the same indentation as the ':' at the start of
# the +:include:+ directive.
#
# [+:title:+ _text_]
# Sets the title for the document. Equivalent to the --title
# command line parameter. (The command line parameter overrides any :title:
# directive in the source).
#
# [+:main:+ _name_]
# Equivalent to the --main command line parameter.
