RDoc produces HTML and command-line documentation for Ruby projects. RDoc includes the rdoc and ri tools for generating and displaying online documentation.

See RDoc for a description of RDoc’s markup and basic use.

Changes:

### 3.7 / 2011-06-27

• Minor enhancements

  • New directive :category: which allows methods to be grouped into sections more cleanly. See RDoc::Markup for details.

  • Document-class for RDoc::Parser::C now supports Foo::CONST as well as CONST.

  • ri method output is now a comma-separated list when displayed interactively. Pull Request #39 by Benoit Daloze.

  • RDoc::ClassModule#merge now prefers the argument’s information over the receiver’s (it now behaves like Hash#merge! instead of a backwards Hash#merge!).

  • RDoc::Markup#convert now accepts an RDoc::Markup::Document instance

  • RDoc now owns the code for generating RDoc and ri data when gems install

  • Added RDoc::RDoc::reset

  • Added RDoc::CodeObject#file_name

• Bug fixes

  • ri no longer crashes when attempting to complete a plain [.

  • ri data now tracks which file information came from so it can process removals and changes to:

    • Classes and Modules

    • Methods

    • Attributes

    • Includes

    • Constants

    You will need to rebuild your ri data for it to update properly. Issue #21 by Sven Riedel

  • Signal and SignalException no longer clobber each other

  • RDoc::Parser::C no longer creates classes when processing aliases.

  • RDoc::Text#strip_stars handles Document-method for methods with =, ! and ? now.

  • RDoc::Parser::C now allows .cpp files to be used with the “in” comment on rb_define_method. Bug #35 by Hanmac.

  • RDoc::Parser::Ruby no longer eats content when =begin/=end documentation blocks are followed by a documentable item. Issue #41 by mfn.

  • RDoc::Markup::Formatter and subclasses now allow an optional markup parameter for adding custom markup. The example in RDoc::Markup::Formatter will now work. Issue #38 by tsilen.

  • RDoc::Parser::C can now distinguish between class methods and instance methods in Document-method. Issue #36 by Vincent Batts.

  • RDoc now encodes file names in the output encoding. Issue #33 by Perry Smith.

  • ri data generation for method aliases no longer duplicates the class in #full_name
