##
# 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 itself does no output formatting: this is left to a different
# set of classes.
#
# RDoc::Markup is extendable at runtime: you can add \new markup elements to
# be recognised 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/markup/to_html'
#
# h = RDoc::Markup::ToHtml.new
#
# puts h.convert(input_string)
#
# You can extend the RDoc::Markup parser to recognise 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 \<no>text...</no> signify
# strike-through text. When then subclass the HTML output class to deal
# with these:
#
# require 'rdoc/markup'
# require 'rdoc/markup/to_html'
#
# class WikiHtml < RDoc::Markup::ToHtml
# def handle_special_WIKIWORD(special)
# "<font color=red>" + special.text + "</font>"
# end
# end
#
# m = RDoc::Markup.new
# m.add_word_pair("{", "}", :STRIKE)
# m.add_html("no", :STRIKE)
#
# m.add_special(/\b([A-Z][a-z]+[A-Z]\w+)/, :WIKIWORD)
#
# wh = WikiHtml.new
# wh.add_tag(:STRIKE, "<strike>", "</strike>")
#
# puts "<body>#{wh.convert ARGF.read}</body>"
#
# == Encoding
#
# Where Encoding support is available RDoc will automatically convert all
# documents to the same output encoding. The output encoding can be set via
# RDoc::Options#encoding and defaults to Encoding.default_external.
#
# = \RDoc Markup Reference
#
# == Block Markup
#
# === Paragraphs and Verbatim
#
# The markup engine looks for a document's natural left margin. This is
# used as the initial margin for the document.
#
# Consecutive lines starting at this margin are considered to be a
# paragraph. Empty lines separate paragraphs.
#
# Any line that starts to the right of the current margin is treated
# as verbatim text. This is useful for code listings:
#
# 3.times { puts "Ruby" }
#
# In verbatim text, two or more blank lines are collapsed into one,
# and trailing blank lines are removed:
#
# This is the first line
#
#
# This is the second non-blank line,
# after 2 blank lines in the source markup.
#
#
# There were two trailing blank lines right above this paragraph, that
# have been removed. In addition, the verbatim text has been shifted
# left, so the amount of indentation of verbatim text is unimportant.
#
# === Headers and Rules
#
# A line starting with an equal sign (=) is treated as a
# heading. Level one headings have one equals sign, level two headings
# have two, and so on until level six, which is the maximum
# (seven hyphens or more result in a level six heading).
#
# For example, the above header was obtained with:
# == Headers and Rules
#
# A line starting with three or more hyphens (at the current indent)
# generates a horizontal rule. The more hyphens, the thicker the rule
# (within reason, and if supported by the output device).
#
# In the case of HTML output, three dashes generate a 1-pixel high rule,
# four dashes result in 2 pixels, and so on. The actual height is limited
# to 10 pixels:
#
# ---
# -----
# -----------------------------------------------------
#
# produces:
#
# ---
# -----
# -----------------------------------------------------
#
# === Simple Lists
#
# If a paragraph starts with a "*", "-", "<digit>." or "<letter>.",
# then it is taken to be the start of a list. The margin in increased to be
# the first non-space following the list start flag. Subsequent lines
# should be indented to this new margin until the list ends. For example:
#
# * this is a list with three paragraphs in
# the first item. This is the first paragraph.
#
# And this is the second paragraph.
#
# 1. This is an indented, numbered list.
# 2. This is the second item in that list
#
# This is the third conventional paragraph in the
# first list item.
#
# * This is the second item in the original list
#
# produces:
#
# * this is a list with three paragraphs in
# the first item. This is the first paragraph.
#
# And this is the second paragraph.
#
# 1. This is an indented, numbered list.
# 2. This is the second item in that list
#
# This is the third conventional paragraph in the
# first list item.
#
# * This is the second item in the original list
#
# === Labeled Lists
#
# You can also construct labeled lists, sometimes called description
# or definition lists. Do this by putting the label in square brackets
# and indenting the list body:
#
# [cat] a small furry mammal
# that seems to sleep a lot
#
# [ant] a little insect that is known
# to enjoy picnics
#
# produces:
#
# [cat] a small furry mammal
# that seems to sleep a lot
#
# [ant] a little insect that is known
# to enjoy picnics
#
# If you want the list bodies to line up to the left of the labels,
# use two colons:
#
# cat:: a small furry mammal
# that seems to sleep a lot
#
# ant:: a little insect that is known
# to enjoy picnics
#
# produces:
#
# cat:: a small furry mammal
# that seems to sleep a lot
#
# ant:: a little insect that is known
# to enjoy picnics
#
# Notice that blank lines right after the label are ignored in labeled lists:
#
# [one]
#
# definition 1
#
# [two]
#
# definition 2
#
# produces the same output as
#
# [one] definition 1
# [two] definition 2
#
#
# === Lists and Verbatim
#
# If you want to introduce a verbatim section right after a list, it has to be
# less indented than the list item bodies, but more indented than the list
# label, letter, digit or bullet. For instance:
#
# * point 1
#
# * point 2, first paragraph
#
# point 2, second paragraph
# verbatim text inside point 2
# point 2, third paragraph
# verbatim text outside of the list (the list is therefore closed)
# regular paragraph after the list
#
# produces:
#
# * point 1
#
# * point 2, first paragraph
#
# point 2, second paragraph
# verbatim text inside point 2
# point 2, third paragraph
# verbatim text outside of the list (the list is therefore closed)
# regular paragraph after the list
#
#
# == Text Markup
#
# === Bold, Italic, Typewriter Text
#
# You can use markup within text (except verbatim) to change the
# appearance of parts of that text. Out of the box, RDoc::Markup
# supports word-based and general markup.
#
# Word-based markup uses flag characters around individual words:
#
# <tt>\*_word_\*</tt>:: displays _word_ in a *bold* font
# <tt>\__word_\_</tt>:: displays _word_ in an _emphasized_ font
# <tt>\+_word_\+</tt>:: displays _word_ in a +code+ font
#
# General markup affects text between a start delimiter and an end
# delimiter. Not surprisingly, these delimiters look like HTML markup.
#
# <tt>\<b>_text_</b></tt>:: displays _text_ in a *bold* font
# <tt>\<em>_text_</em></tt>:: displays _text_ in an _emphasized_ font
# (alternate tag: <tt>\<i></tt>)
# <tt>\<tt>_text_\</tt></tt>:: displays _text_ in a +code+ font
# (alternate tag: <tt>\<code></tt>)
#
# 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 <i>Escaping
# Text Markup</i>, below).
#
# === Hyperlinks
#
# Hyperlinks to the web starting with +http:+, +mailto:+, +ftp:+ or +www.+
# are recognized. An HTTP url that references an external image file is
# converted into an inline <img...>. Hyperlinks starting with +link:+ are
# assumed to refer to local files whose path is relative to the <tt>--op</tt>
# directory.
#
# Hyperlinks 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: {<em>multi word label</em>}[url].
#
# Example hyperlinks:
#
# link:RDoc.html
# http://rdoc.rubyforge.org
# mailto:user@example.com
# {RDoc Documentation}[http://rdoc.rubyforge.org]
# {RDoc Markup}[link:RDoc/Markup.html]
#
# === Escaping Text Markup
#
# Text markup can be escaped with a backslash, as in \<tt>, which was obtained
# with "<tt>\\<tt></tt>". Except in verbatim sections and between \<tt> 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 hyperlinks:
#
# * The \ must be doubled if not followed by white space: \\.
# * But not in \<tt> tags: in a Regexp, <tt>\S</tt> 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 hyperlinked to \RDoc::RDoc#document
#
# generates:
#
# * The \ must be doubled if not followed by white space: \\.
# * But not in \<tt> tags: in a Regexp, <tt>\S</tt> 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 hyperlinked to \RDoc::RDoc#document
#
# Inside \<tt> tags, more precisely, leading backslashes are removed
# only if followed by a markup character (<tt><*_+</tt>), a backslash,
# or a known hyperlink reference (a known class or method). So in the
# example above, the backslash of <tt>\S</tt> 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 <tt>#</tt> on
# successive lines of the comment, or by including the comment in
# a <tt>=begin</tt>/<tt>=end</tt> block. If you use the latter form,
# the <tt>=begin</tt> 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 <tt>--</tt> right after the <tt>#</tt> 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 <tt>++</tt>.
#
# ##
# # 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 hyperlinked
# from comment text to their description. This hyperlinking 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 "<tt>\n</tt>", you'll need to use
# two \ characters in normal text, but only one in \<tt> text:
#
# "\\n" or "<tt>\n</tt>"
#
# produces:
#
# "\\n" or "<tt>\n</tt>"
#
# == Directives
#
# Directives are keywords surrounded by ":" characters.
#
# === Controlling what is documented
#
# [+:nodoc:+ / <tt>:nodoc: all</tt>]
# This directive prevents documentation for the element from
# being generated. For classes and modules, the 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 of 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 <tt>MyModule::Input</tt> 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.
#
# === Other directives
#
# [+: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 <tt>--title</tt>
# command line parameter. (The command line parameter overrides any :title:
# directive in the source).
#
# [+:main:+ _name_]
# Equivalent to the <tt>--main</tt> command line parameter.
#
# [<tt>:section: title</tt>]
# Starts a new section in the output. The title following +:section:+ is
# used as the section heading, and the remainder of the comment containing
# the section is used as introductory text. Subsequent methods, aliases,
# attributes, and classes will be documented in this section. 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 such as:
#
# # ----------------------------------------
# # :section: My Section
# # This is the section that I wrote.
# # See it glisten in the noon-day sun.
# # ----------------------------------------
#
# <i>Note: Current formatters to not take sections into account.</i>
#
# [+:call-seq:+]
# Lines up to the next blank line in the comment are treated as the method's
# calling sequence, overriding the default parsing of method parameters and
# yield arguments.
#
# Further directives can be found in RDoc::Parser::Ruby and RDoc::Parser::C.
