Ruff! - Runtime Formatting Function Reference (V0.4)

# ::ruff

## Introduction

Ruff! generates reference documentation for Tcl programs using runtime introspection.

Unlike most source code based documentation generators, Ruff! generates documentation using Tcl's runtime system to extract proc, class and method definitions. The code for procedures and methods is parsed to extract documentation from free-form comments. Tcl introspection is used to retrieve information about namespaces, inheritance graphs, default parameter values and so on.

This document contains reference material for Ruff!. For more introductory and tutorial documentation, a user guide is available at http://woof.magicsplat.com/ruff_guide. The SourceForge site http://sourceforge.net/projects/woof hosts the Ruff! source tree as part of the Woof! project.

## Usage

Ruff! is not intended to be a standalone script. Rather the package provides commands that should be driven from a script that controls which particular namespaces, classes etc. are to be included. Include the following command to load the package into your script.

        package require ruff

Once loaded, you can use the ::ruff::document_namespaces command to document classes and commands within a namespace. For more flexibility in controlling what is to be documented, use the ::ruff::extract command and pass its results to the ::ruff::document command.

In the simple case, where only the namespace '::NS' and its children are to be documented, the following commands will create the file 'NS.html' using the built-in HTML formatter.

      package require ruff
      ::ruff::document_namespaces html [list ::NS] -output NS.html -recurse true

Other commands in the package are intended to be used if you want to roll your own custom formatting package.

Refer to the source code of the command ::ruff::document_self, which generates documentation for Ruff!, for an example of how the package might be used.

## Input format

Ruff! extracts documentation from proc and class definitions and comments within the proc and method bodies. The comments are expected to have some simple structure but no extraneous markup is required.

The lines within the body of a proc or method are first filtered as described in documentation for the ::ruff::distill_body command. These lines are then parsed as described in the ::ruff::parse command to extract different documentation components.

Refer to those commands for the syntax and comment structure expected by Ruff!.

## Output formats

Ruff! supports multiple output formats. HTML can be directly generated using the internal formatter which does not require any other external tool.

Alternatively, the output can also be generated in a format that is suitable to be fed to an external formatting program such as robodoc or doctools. The command ::ruff::formatters returns a list of supported formatters. These formatters in turn can produce documents in several different formats such as html, latex and docbook.

It is recommended that for HTML output, the built-in html formatter be used as it has the best support for cross-referencing, automatic link generation and navigation.

## Commands

#### distill_body [::ruff]

ruff, Top

Given a procedure or method body, returns the documentation lines as a list.

distill_body text

###### Parameters

text | text to be processed to collect all documentation lines.

###### Description

Given a procedure or method body, returns the documentation lines as a list.

The first block of contiguous comment lines preceding the first line of code are treated as documentation lines.

The string #ruff at the beginning of a comment line anywhere in the passed in text is considered the start of a documentation block. All subsequent contiguous comment lines are considered documentation lines.

Note a #ruff on a line by itself will terminate the previous text block. If #ruff is followed by additional text on the same line, it is treated as a continuation of the previous text block.

The leading comment character and a single space (if present) are trimmed from the returned lines.

#### distill_docstring [::ruff]

ruff, Top

Splits a documentation string to return the documentation lines as a list.

distill_docstring text

###### Parameters

text | documentation string to be parsed

###### Description

Splits a documentation string to return the documentation lines as a list.

Initial blank lines are skipped and multiple empty lines are compressed into one empty line.

The very first non empty line determines the margin. This will be removed from all subsequent lines. Note that this assumes that if tabs are used for indentation, they are used on all lines in consistent fashion.

#### get_ooclass_method_path [::ruff]

ruff, Top

Calculates the class search order for a method of the specified class

get_ooclass_method_path class_name method_name

###### Parameters

class_name | name of the class to which the method belongs
method_name | method name being searched for

###### Return value

Returns an ordered list containing the classes that are searched to locate a method for the specified class.

###### Description

Calculates the class search order for a method of the specified class

A method implementation may be provided by the class itself, a mixin or a superclass. This command calculates the order in which these are searched to locate the method. The primary purpose is to find exactly which class actually implements a method exposed by the class.

If a class occurs multiple times due to inheritance or mixins, the LAST occurence of the class is what determines the priority of that class in method selection. Therefore the returned search path may contain repeated elements.

Note that this routine only applies to a class and cannot be used with individual objects which may have their own mix-ins.

Search algorithm:

- Filters are ignored. They may be invoked but are not considered implementation of the method itself.
- The mixins of a class are searched even before the class itself as are the superclasses of the mixins.
- next in the search path is the class itself
- Last in the search order are the superclasses (in recursive fashion)

#### locate_ooclass_method [::ruff]

ruff, Top

Locates the classe that implement the specified method of a class

locate_ooclass_method class_name method_name

###### Parameters

class_name | name of the class to which the method belongs
method_name | method name being searched for

###### Return value

Returns the name of the implementing class or an empty string if the method is not implemented.

###### Description

Locates the classe that implement the specified method of a class

The matching class may implement the method itself or through one of its own mix-ins or superclasses.

#### parse [::ruff]

ruff, Top

Creates a parse structure given a list of lines that are assumed to be documentation for a programming structure

parse lines

###### Parameters

lines | a list of lines comprising the documentation

###### Description

Creates a parse structure given a list of lines that are assumed to be documentation for a programming structure

Empty lines or lines with only whitespace terminate the preceding text block (such as a paragraph or a list).

A bulleted list item starts with a '-' or '*' character. A list item may be continued across multiple lines by indending succeeding lines belonging to the same list item. Note an indented line will terminate the previous list item if it itself looks like a new list item. A bulleted list is returned as a list containing the list items, each of which is a list of lines.

A definition list or parameter list begins with a word followed by whitespace, a '-' character, whitespace and descriptive text. Whether it is treated as a parameter list or a definition list depends on whether it occurs in the comment block. If it occurs at the beginning or just after the summary line, it is treated as a parameter list. In all other cases, it is treated as a definition list. Like a bulleted list, each list item may be continued on succeeding lines by indenting them. Definition and parameter lists are returned as flat list of alternating list item name and list item value pairs. The list item value is itself a list of lines.

An option list is similar to a parameter list except that the first word on the line begins with a '-' character and is possibly followed by more words before the '-' character that separates the descriptive text. The '-' separator must be surrounded by whitespace. The value returned for an option list follows the same structure as for parameter or definition list items. Any line in any documentation block that matches this is always added to the option list, irrespective of where it occurs. This means option descriptions can be mingled with other documentation fragments and will show up in the options section.

Any paragraph that begins with the word 'Returns' is treated as a description of the return value irrespective of where it occurs. It is returned as a list of lines.

Lines beginning with spaces are treated as preformatted text unless they are part of a list item. Preformatted text is returned as a list of lines.

All other text blocks are descriptive text paragraphs. Paragraphs may extend across multiple lines and are terminated either when the line matches one of the list items patterns, an indented line (which is treated as preformatted text), or an empty line. Paragraphs are returned as a list of lines.

## Commands

#### log_error [::ruff::app]

app, Top

Stub function to log Ruff! errors.

log_error msg

###### Parameters

msg | the message to be logged

###### Description

Stub function to log Ruff! errors.

When Ruff! encounters errors, it calls this command to notify the user. By default, the command writes $msg to stderr output. An application using the ruff package can redefine this command after loading ruff.

Show source

    proc ::ruff::app::log_error {msg} {

        # Stub function to log Ruff! errors.
        # msg - the message to be logged
        #
        # When Ruff! encounters errors, it calls this command to
        # notify the user. By default, the command writes $msg
        # to stderr output. An application using the ruff package
        # can redefine this command after loading ruff.
        puts stderr "$msg"
    }

# ::ruff::formatter::doctools

## Commands

#### escape [::ruff::formatter::doctools]

doctools, Top

escape s

###### Parameters

s | string to be escaped

###### Description

Protects a string against doctools substitution in text (not to be used inside a doctools command argument as that follows Tcl escaping rules and are easiest escaped by enclosing in braces)

Show source

    proc ::ruff::formatter::doctools::escape {s} {

        # s - string to be escaped
        # Protects a string against doctools substitution in text
        # (not to be used inside a doctools command argument as that
        # follows Tcl escaping rules and are easiest escaped by enclosing
        # in braces)

        # It appears as though the only characters needing replacing are
        # [ and ]. Other Tcl special chars ($ \ etc.) do not matter
        # return [string map [list \\ \\\\ \[ \[lb\] \] \[rb\] \$ \\\$] $s]
