# RDoc - ri - phpman

= **RDoc**

(from gem rdoc-7.2.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RDoc produces documentation for Ruby source files by parsing the source
and extracting the definition for classes, modules, methods, includes
and requires.  It associates these with optional documentation contained
in an immediately preceding comment block then renders the result using
an output formatter.

## For a simple introduction to writing or generating documentation using
RDoc see the README.

== **Roadmap**

If you think you found a bug in RDoc see CONTRIBUTING@Bugs

## If you want to use RDoc to create documentation for your Ruby source
files, see [RDoc::Markup](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AMarkup/markdown) and refer to rdoc --help for command line usage.

## If you want to set the default markup format see
[RDoc::Markup](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AMarkup/markdown)@Markup+Formats

## If you want to store rdoc configuration in your gem (such as the default
markup format) see [RDoc::Options](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AOptions/markdown)@Saved+Options

## If you want to write documentation for Ruby files see [RDoc::Parser::Ruby](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AParser%3A%3ARuby/markdown)

## If you want to write documentation for extensions written in C see
[RDoc::Parser::C](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AParser%3A%3AC/markdown)

If you want to generate documentation using rake see [RDoc::Task](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3ATask/markdown).

If you want to drive RDoc programmatically, see [RDoc::RDoc](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3ARDoc/markdown).

## If you want to use the library to format text blocks into HTML or other
formats, look at [RDoc::Markup](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AMarkup/markdown).

## If you want to make an RDoc plugin such as a generator or directive
handler see [RDoc::RDoc](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3ARDoc/markdown).

If you want to write your own output generator see [RDoc::Generator](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/RDoc%3A%3AGenerator/markdown).

## If you want an overview of how RDoc works see CONTRIBUTING

== **Credits**

RDoc is currently being maintained by Eric Hodel <<drbrain@segment7.net>>.

Dave Thomas <<dave@pragmaticprogrammer.com>> is the original author of
RDoc.

* The Ruby parser in rdoc/parse.rb is based heavily on the outstanding
  work of Keiju ISHITSUKA of Nippon Rational Inc, who produced the Ruby
  parser for irb and the rtags package.








## This class is referenced by RubyGems to create documents. All
implementations are moved to the above RubyGemsHook.

## This class does nothing when this RDoc is installed as a normal gem or a
bundled gem.

## This class does generate/remove documents for compatibility when this
RDoc is installed as a default gem.

We can remove this when all maintained RubyGems remove rubygems/rdoc.rb.
