# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 63
def add_comment comment
  comment = extract_comment comment

  return if comment.empty?

  case comment
  when RDoc::Comment then
    @comments << comment
  when RDoc::Markup::Document then
    @comments.concat comment.parts
  when Array then
    @comments.concat comment
  else
    raise TypeError, "unknown comment type: #{comment.inspect}"
  end
end

aref() click to toggle source

Anchor reference for linking to this section

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 83
def aref
  title = @title || '[untitled]'

  CGI.escape(title).gsub('%', '-').sub(/^-/, '')
end

extract_comment(comment) click to toggle source

Extracts the comment for this section from the original comment block. If the first line contains :section:, strip it and use the rest. Otherwise remove lines up to the line containing :section:, and look for those lines again at the end and remove them. This lets us write

# :section: The title
# The body

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 98
def extract_comment comment
  case comment
  when Array then
    comment.map do |c|
      extract_comment c
    end
  when nil
    RDoc::Comment.new ''
  when RDoc::Comment then
    if comment.text =~ /^#[ \t]*:section:.*\n/ then
      start = $`
      rest = $'

      comment.text = if start.empty? then
                       rest
                     else
                       rest.sub(/#{start.chomp}\Z/, '')
                     end
    end

    comment
  when RDoc::Markup::Document then
    comment
  else
    raise TypeError, "unknown comment #{comment.inspect}"
  end
end

in_files() click to toggle source

The files comments in this section come from

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 133
def in_files
  return [] if @comments.empty?

  case @comments
  when Array then
    @comments.map do |comment|
      comment.file
    end
  when RDoc::Markup::Document then
    @comment.parts.map do |document|
      document.file
    end
  else
    raise RDoc::Error, "BUG: unknown comment class #{@comments.class}"
  end
end

marshal_dump() click to toggle source

Serializes this Section. The title and parsed comment are saved, but not the section parent which must be restored manually.

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 154

  [
    MARSHAL_VERSION,
    @title,
    parse,
  ]

  @title    = array[1]
  @comments = array[2]
end

parse() click to toggle source

Parses comment_location into an RDoc::Markup::Document composed of multiple RDoc::Markup::Documents with their file set.

Calls superclass method RDoc::Text#parse

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 176
def parse
  case @comments
  when String then
    super
  when Array then
    docs = @comments.map do |comment, location|
      doc = super comment
      doc.file = location if location
      doc
    end

    RDoc::Markup::Document.new(*docs)
  when RDoc::Comment then
    doc = super @comments.text, comments.format
    doc.file = @comments.location
    doc
  when RDoc::Markup::Document then
    return @comments
  else
    raise ArgumentError, "unknown comment class #{comments.class}"
  end
end

plain_html() click to toggle source

The section's title, or 'Top Section' if the title is nil.

This is used by the table of contents template so the name is silly.

  @title || 'Top Section'
end

  case @comments
  when Array then
    @comments.delete_if do |my_comment|
      my_comment.file == comment.file
    end
  when RDoc::Markup::Document then
    @comments.parts.delete_if do |document|
      document.file == comment.file.name
    end
  else
    raise RDoc::Error, "BUG: unknown comment class #{@comments.class}"
  end
end

# File lib/rdoc/context/section.rb, line 232
