The "^L" are formfeeds. PROC1, PROC2 ;;; and so on are symbols that name the element documented. DOCUMENTATION1, ;;; DOCUMENTATION2 and so on are the related documentation, w/o any further ;;; formatting. Note that there are two newlines before the next formfeed; ;;; these are discarded when the documentation is read in. ;;; ;;; (Version 1, corresponding to guile-1.4 and prior, is documented as being ;;; not documented anywhere except by this embarrassingly circular comment.) ;;; ;;; * File Commentary ;;; ;;; A file's commentary is the body of text found between comments ;;; ;;; Commentary: ;;; and ;;; ;;; Code: ;;; both of which must be at the beginning of the line. In the result string, ;;; semicolons at the beginning of each line are discarded. ;;; ;;; You can specify to `file-commentary' alternate begin and end strings, and ;;; scrub procedure. Use #t to get default values. For example: ;;; ;;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm") ;;; You should see this text! ;;; ;;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm" "^;;; Code:" "ends here$") ;;; You should see the rest of this file. ;;; ;;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm" #t #t string-upcase) ;;; You should see this text very loudly (note semicolons untouched). ;;; Code: (define-module (ice-9 documentation) #:use-module (ice-9 rdelim) #:use-module (ice-9 regex) #:use-module (ice-9 match) #:export (file-commentary documentation-files search-documentation-files object-documentation)) ;; ;; commentary extraction ;; (define (file-commentary filename . cust) ; (IN-LINE-RE AFTER-LINE-RE SCRUB) ;; These are constants but are not at the top level because the repl in ;; boot-9.scm loads session.scm which in turn loads this file, and we want ;; that to work even even when regexps are not available (ie. make-regexp ;; doesn't exist), as for instance is the case on mingw. ;; (define default-in-line-re (make-regexp "^;;; Commentary:")) (define default-after-line-re (make-regexp "^;;; Code:")) (define default-scrub (let ((dirt (make-regexp "^;+"))) (lambda (line) (let ((m (regexp-exec dirt line))) (if m (match:suffix m) line))))) ;; fixme: might be cleaner to use optargs here...
