rocco.rb

Rocco is a Ruby port of Docco, the quick-and-dirty, +hundred-line-long, literate-programming-style documentation generator.

+ +

Rocco reads Ruby source files and produces annotated source documentation +in HTML format. Comments are formatted with Markdown and presented +alongside syntax highlighted code so as to give an annotation effect. +This page is the result of running Rocco against its own source file.

+ +

Most of this was written while waiting for node.js to build (so I +could use Docco!). Docco’s gorgeous HTML and CSS are taken verbatim. +The main difference is that Rocco is written in Ruby instead of +CoffeeScript and may be a bit easier to obtain and install in +existing Ruby environments or where node doesn’t run yet.

+ +

Rocco can be installed with rubygems:

+ +
gem install rocco
+
+ +

Once installed, the rocco command can be used to generate documentation +for a set of Ruby source files:

+ +
rocco lib/*.rb
+
+ +

The HTML files are written to the current working directory.

+
Prerequisites

+		
+        

+      

+
The rdiscount library is
+required for Markdown processing.

+		
+        
require 'rdiscount'
+

+      

+
We use {{ mustache }} for
+templating.

+		
+        
require 'mustache'
+

+      

+
Code is run through Pygments for syntax
+highlighting. Fail fast if we can’t find the pygmentize program.

+		
+        
if ! ENV['PATH'].split(':').any? { |dir| File.exist?("#{dir}/pygmentize") }
+  fail "Pygments is required for syntax highlighting"
+end
+

+      

+
Public Interface

+		
+        

+      

+
Rocco.new takes a source filename and an optional block.
+When block is given, it must read the contents of the file using
+whatever means necessary and return it as a string. With no block, the
+file is read to retrieve data.

+		
+        
class Rocco
+  def initialize(filename, &block)
+    @file = filename
+    @data =
+      if block_given?
+        yield
+      else
+        File.read(filename)
+      end

+      

+
Parsing and highlighting

+		
+        
    @sections = highlight(parse(@data))
+  end
+

+      

+
The filename as given to Rocco.new.

+		
+        
  attr_reader :file
+

+      

+
A list of two-tuples representing each section of the source file. Each
+item in the list has the form: [docs_html, code_html], where both
+elements are strings containing the documentation and source code HTML,
+respectively.

+		
+        
  attr_reader :sections
+

+      

+
Generate HTML output for the entire document.

+		
+        
  require 'rocco/layout'
+  def to_html
+    Rocco::Layout.new(self).render
+  end
+

+      

+
Internal Parsing and Highlighting

+		
+        

+      

+
Parse the raw file data into a list of two-tuples.

+		
+        
  def parse(data)
+    sections = []
+    docs, code = [], []
+    data.split("\n").each do |line|
+      case line
+      when /^\s*#/
+        if code.any?
+          sections << [docs, code]
+          docs, code = [], []
+        end
+        docs << line
+      when /^\s*$/
+        code << line
+      else
+        code << line
+      end
+    end
+    sections << [docs, code] if docs.any? || code.any?
+    sections
+  end
+

+      

+
Take the raw section data and apply markdown formatting and syntax
+highlighting.

+		
+        
  def highlight(sections)

+      

+
Start by splitting the docs and codes blocks into two separate lists.

+		
+        
    docs_blocks, code_blocks = [], []
+    sections.each do |docs,code|
+      docs_blocks << docs.map { |line| line.sub(/^\s*#\s?/, '') }.join("\n")
+      code_blocks << code.join("\n")
+    end
+

+      

+
Combine all docs blocks into a single big markdown document and run
+through RDiscount. Then split it back out into separate sections.

+		
+        
    markdown = docs_blocks.join("\n##### DIVIDER\n")
+    docs_html = Markdown.new(markdown, :smart).
+      to_html.
+      split("\n<h5>DIVIDER</h5>\n")
+

+      

+
Combine all code blocks into a single big stream and run through
+pygments. We popen a pygmentize process and then fork off a
+writer process.

+		
+        
    code_html = nil
+    open("|pygmentize -l ruby -f html", 'r+') do |fd|
+      fork {
+        fd.close_read
+        fd.write code_blocks.join("\n# DIVIDER\n")
+        fd.close_write
+        exit!
+      }
+
+      fd.close_write
+      code_html = fd.read
+      fd.close_read
+    end
+

+      

+
Do some post-processing on the pygments output to remove
+partial <pre> blocks. We’ll add these back when we build to main
+document.

+		
+        
    code_html = code_html.
+      split(/\n?<span class="c1"># DIVIDER<\/span>\n?/m).
+      map { |code| code.sub(/\n?<div class="highlight"><pre>/m, '') }.
+      map { |code| code.sub(/\n?<\/pre><\/div>\n/m, '') }
+

+      

+
Combine the docs and code lists into the same sections style list we
+started with.

+		
+        
    docs_html.zip(code_html)
+  end
+end

+
