@title[#:tag "srcdoc"]{In-Source Documentation}
|
|
|
|
The @racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc] and
|
|
@racketmodname[scribble/extract] libraries support writing
|
|
documentation within the documented code along with an export
|
|
contract, similar to using @as-index{JavaDoc}. With this approach, a
|
|
single contract specification is used both for the run-time contract
|
|
and the documentation of an exported binding.
|
|
|
|
The @racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc] library provides forms for
|
|
exporting a binding with associated documentation. The
|
|
@racket[scribble/extract] library is used to pull
|
|
@racket[scribble/srcdoc]-based documentation into a Scribble document
|
|
(perhaps for multiple libraries).
|
|
|
|
Although documentation is written with a library's implementation when
|
|
using @racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc], the documentation creates no
|
|
run-time overhead for the library. Similarly, typesetting the
|
|
documentation does not require running the library. The two phases
|
|
(run time versus documentation time) are kept separate in much the
|
|
same way that the module system keeps expansion-time code separate
|
|
from run-time code, and documentation information is recorded in a
|
|
submodule to be separately loadable from the enclosing module.

@defmodule[scribble/srcdoc]
|
|
|
|
Documentation information generated by @racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc]
|
|
forms are accumulated into a @racketidfont{srcdoc} submodule. The
|
|
generated submodule is accessed by the bindings of
|
|
@racketmodname[scribble/extract].
|
|
|
|
@defform[(for-doc require-spec ...)]{
|
|
|
|
A @racket[require] sub-form for bindings that are needed at
|
|
documentation time (and documentation-expansion time, etc.) instead of
|
|
run time (and expansion time, etc.). A @racket[for-doc] import has
|
|
no effect on a normal use of the library; it affects only
|
|
documentation extraction.
|
|
|
|
Typically, a library that uses @racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc]
|
|
includes at least @racket[(require (for-doc scribble/base scribble/manual))]
|
|
to get core Racket forms and basic Scribble functions to use in
|
|
documentation expressions.}

|
|
[optional contract-expr
|
|
(code:line keyword contract-expr)])]{
|
|
|
|
A @racket[provide] sub-form that exports @racket[id] with the
|
|
contract described by @racket[contract]
|
|
just like using @racket[contract-out].
|
|
|
|
The @racket[arg-spec] specifies the names of arguments and the
|
|
default values, which are not
|
|
normally written as part of a contract. They are combined with the
|
|
contract expression to generate the description of the binding in the
|
|
documentation via @racket[defproc]. The @racket[(arg-id default-expr)]
|
|
pairs specify the names and default values of the optional arguments.
|
|
If the contract supports optional arguments, then the first
|
|
@racket[arg-spec]s form must be used, otherwise the second must be used.
|
|
|
|
The @racket[desc-expr] is a sequence of documentation-time expressions that
|
|
produces prose to describe the exported binding---that is, the last
|
|
part of the generated @racket[defproc], so the description can refer
|
|
to the @racket[arg-id]s using @racket[racket].
|
|
|
|
The normal @racket[require]s of the enclosing library are effectively
|
|
converted into @racket[for-label] @racket[require]s when generating
|
|
documentation, so that identifiers in the @racket[contract]s are
|
|
linked to their corresponding documentation. Similarly, any binding
|
|
that is available in the run-time phase of the enclosing library
|
|
can be referenced in documentation prose using the @racket[racket]
|
|
form.}

Like to @racket[begin-for-syntax], but for documentation time instead

of expansion time. The @racket[form]s can refer to binding
|
|
@racket[require]d with @racket[for-doc].
|
|
|
|
For example, a definition in @racket[begin-for-doc]
|

can be referenced by a @racket[_desc-expr] in

@racket[proc-doc/names].}
|

@defform[(generate-delayed-documents)]{
|
|
|
|
Causes documentation information to be recorded as a macro that is
|
|
expanded (along with any @racket[for-doc] imports) in the
|
|
module that uses @racket[include-extracted] or @racket[provide-extracted],
|
|
instead of within (a submodule of) the module that declares the information.
|
|
|
|
Delaying document generation in this way allows @racket[(for-doc
|
|
(for-label ....))] imports that would otherwise create cyclic module
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems with accumulated @racket[for-doc] imports across

modules, @racket[generate-delayed-documents] declaration should appear
|
|
before any @racket[for-doc] import.}

@defmodule[scribble/extract]

|
@defform[(include-extracted module-path)]{
|
|
|
|
Expands to a sequence of documentation forms extracted from
|
|
@racket[module-path], which is expected to be a module that uses
|
|
@racketmodname[scribble/srcdoc] (so that the module has a
|
|
@racketidfont{srcdoc} submodule).}
|
|
|
|
@defform[(provide-extracted module-path)]{
|
|
|
|
Similar to @racket[include-extracted], but the documentation is
|
|
packaged and exported as @racket[exported], instead of left
|
|
inline.
|
|
|
|
Use this form in combination with
|
|
@racket[include-previously-extracted] when documentation from a single
|
|
source is to be split and typeset among multiple documentation
|
|
locations. The @racket[provide-extracted] form extracts the
|
|
documentation once, and then @racket[include-previously-extracted]
|
|
form extracts documentation for specific bindings as needed.}
|
|
|
|
@defform[(include-previously-extracted module-path regexp)]{
|
|
|
|
Similar to @racket[include-extracted], but instead of referring to the
|
|
source that contains its own documentation, @racket[module-path]
|
|
refers to a module that uses @racket[provide-extracted]. The
|
|
@racket[include-previously-extracted] form expands to documentation
|
|
forms for all identifiers whose string forms match @racket[regexp].}
