# RDoc::Comment

A comment holds the text comment for a RDoc::CodeObject and provides a unified way of cleaning it up and parsing it into an RDoc::Markup::Document.

Each comment may have a different markup format set by format=. By default 'rdoc' is used. The :markup: directive tells RDoc which format to use.

See RDoc::Markup@Other+directives for instructions on adding an alternate format.

### Attributes

document[W]

Overrides the content returned by parse. Use when there is no text source for this comment

file[RW]

The RDoc::TopLevel this comment was found in

format[R]

The format of this comment. Defaults to RDoc::Markup

location[RW]

The RDoc::TopLevel this comment was found in

text[R]

The text for this comment

### Public Class Methods

new(text = nil, location = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new comment with `text` that is found in the RDoc::TopLevel `location`.

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 45
    def initialize text = nil, location = nil
      @location = location
      @text     = text

      @document   = nil
      @format     = 'rdoc'
      @normalized = false
    end

### Public Instance Methods

empty?() click to toggle source

A comment is empty if its text String is empty.

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 131
    def empty?
      @text.empty?
    end

is indented from the baseline. All lines of the click to toggle source
same indentation level and prefix are consumed.

Look for a 'call-seq' in the comment to override the normal parameter handling. The For example, all of the following will be used as the :call-seq:

    # :call-seq:
    #   ARGF.readlines(sep=$/)     -> array
    #   ARGF.readlines(limit)      -> array
    #   ARGF.readlines(sep, limit) -> array
    #
    #   ARGF.to_a(sep=$/)     -> array
    #   ARGF.to_a(limit)      -> array
    #   ARGF.to_a(sep, limit) -> array

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 83
    def extract_call_seq method
      # we must handle situations like the above followed by an unindented first
      # comment.  The difficulty is to make sure not to match lines starting
      # with ARGF at the same indent, but that are after the first description
      # paragraph.
      if @text =~ /^\s*:?call-seq:(.*?(?:\S).*?)^\s*$/ then
        all_start, all_stop = $~.offset(0)
        seq_start, seq_stop = $~.offset(1)

        # we get the following lines that start with the leading word at the
        # same indent, even if they have blank lines before
        if $1 =~ /(^\s*\n)+^(\s*\w+)/ then
          leading = $2 # ' *    ARGF' in the example above
          re = %
            \A(
               (^\s*\n)+
               (^#{Regexp.escape leading}.*?\n)+
              )+
            ^\s*$
          %m

          if @text[seq_stop..-1] =~ re then
            all_stop = seq_stop + $~.offset(0).last
            seq_stop = seq_stop + $~.offset(1).last
          end
        end

        seq = @text[seq_start..seq_stop]
        seq.gsub!(/^\s*(\S|\n)/, '\1')
        @text.slice! all_start...all_stop

        method.call_seq = seq.chomp

      elsif @text.sub!(/^\s*:?call-seq:(.*?)(^\s*$|\z)/, '') then
        seq = $1
        seq.gsub!(/^\s*/, '')
        method.call_seq = seq
      end
      #elsif @text.sub!(/\A\/\*\s*call-seq:(.*?)\*\/\Z/, '') then
      #  method.call_seq = $1.strip
      #end

      method
    end

force_encoding(encoding) click to toggle source

HACK dubious

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 138
    def force_encoding encoding
      @text.force_encoding encoding
    end

format=(format) click to toggle source

Sets the format of this comment and resets any parsed document

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 145
    def format= format
      @format = format
      @document = nil
    end

normalize() click to toggle source

Normalizes the text. See RDoc::Text#normalize_comment for details

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 159
    def normalize
      return self unless @text
      return self if @normalized # TODO eliminate duplicate normalization

      @text = normalize_comment @text

      @normalized = true

      self
    end

parse() click to toggle source

Parses the comment into an RDoc::Markup::Document. The parsed document is cached until the text is changed.

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 181
    def parse
      return @document if @document

      @document = super @text, @format
      @document.file = @location
      @document
    end

remove_private() click to toggle source

Removes private sections from this comment. Private sections are flush to the comment marker and start with `--` and end with `++`. For C-style comments, a private marker may not start at the opening of the comment.

    /*
     *--
     * private
     *++
     * public
     */

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 202
    def remove_private
      # Workaround for gsub encoding for Ruby 1.9.2 and earlier
      empty = ''
      empty.force_encoding @text.encoding if Object.const_defined? :Encoding

      @text = @text.gsub(%^\s*([#*]?)--.*?^\s*(\11))\+\+\n?%, empty)
      @text = @text.sub(%^\s*[#*]?--.*%, '')
    end

text=(text) click to toggle source

Replaces this comment's text with `text` and resets the parsed document.

An error is raised if the comment contains a document but no text.

    # File lib/rdoc/comment.rb, line 216
    def text= text
      raise RDoc::Error, 'replacing document-only comment is not allowed' if
        @text.nil? and @document

      @document = nil
      @text = text
    end

tomdoc?() click to toggle source

Returns true if this comment is in TomDoc format.
