5.1.2 Ordinary functions

Function: documentation* (x doc-type)

Sometimes you may want to maintain documentation attached to
non-standard targets in the source code, and pull those strings into
the manual (for example, command options or available quoted forms).
Some Lisp implementations make it easy to use non-standard targets to =documentation=; others essentially forbid it. The =documentation*=
and =(setf documentation*)= functions manage the nonstandard documentation types on platforms which do not allow it.
#+begin_example
(documentation* X DOC-TYPE)
(setf (documentation* X DOC-TYPE) DOC-STRING)
#+end_example
At this time, on Allegro Lisp these functions are inlined wrappers for the standard =documentation= functions, and on other platforms it filters out the non-standard types and stores them in the =+nonstandard-doc-type+= hash.

Note that when using =(setf documentation*)= to install documentation strings of non-standard doc-type it is necessary to load the =org-sampler= ASDF system as a prerequisite of the documented system. This is in contrast to the use case of merely assembling documentation separately from loading the system, in which case there is no reason to =:depends-on= the Org-Sampler system.

Package

org-sampler.

Source

sampler.lisp.

Function: (setf documentation*) (x doc-type)
Package

org-sampler.

Source

sampler.lisp.

Function: self-document ()

Applies =Org-Sampler= to itself in its own directory.

sampler.lisp.

Function: write-package-files (package &rest keyargs &key all system path index types index-acc show-package hoist-exported page-title always-disambiguate section-level package-headers usage-headers show-title latex-label-suffix)

Documents a package by writing an Org file for each defined symbol. #+begin_example
(write-package-files PACKAGE
[ :all FLAG ]
[ :system ASDF-SYSTEM-NAME ]
[ :path DIR ]
[ :index FLAG ]
[ :index-acc HASH-OR-NIL ]
[ :show-package FLAG ]
[ :hoist-exported FLAG ]
[ :page-title STRNIG ]
[ :always-disambiguate FLAG ]
[ :section-level NUMBER-OR-NIL ]
[ :package-headers FLAG ]
[ :usage-headers FLAG ]
[ :show-title FLAG ] )
#+end_example
- The =package= argument should be a package specifier.
- If the =all= keyword argument is given and is non-nil, then all symbols in the package should be documented, instead of just exported symbols.
- The =path= argument gives the directory where the files should be written. This directory will be created if it does not exist.
- A relative =path= is resolved relative to the location of the ASDF file defining the given =system=.
- When this function is called by another function in this package, =index-acc= will be a hash-table used to accumulate symbol references for the index that page will create. When this function is called as an API from outside of this system, or if no index will be needed, then the argument should be left =nil=. - The =show-package=, =hoist-exported=, and =page-title= keyword arguments direct the formatting of the index page which this routine should create when it is the entry call to this package.
- If =show-package= is non-nil, then the symbol’s package name will be dsplayed on any index page.
- If =hoist-exported= in non-nil, then the list of symbols will be divided according to the package which exports each symbol, or by internal symbols of all packages.
- If non-nil, =page-title= should be a string to be used as the page name.

Function: write-packages (packages &rest keyargs &key default-all default-system default-path package-extension extension-downcase index index-system types always-disambiguate index-acc show-package hoist-exported page-title section-level show-title package-headers usage-headers latex-label-suffix)

Document several packages by making a call to =write-package-files= for each. #+begin_example
(write-packages PACKAGES
[ :default-all FLAG ]
[ :default-system ASDF-SYSTEM-NAME ]
[ :default-path DIR ]
[ :package-extension FLAG ]
[ :extension-downcase FLAG ]
[ :index FLAG ]
[ :index-system ASDF-SYSTEM-NAME ]
[ :index-acc HASH-TABLE ]
[ :show-package FLAG ]
[ :hoist-exported page-title FLAG ]
[ :show-title FLAG ]
[ :package-headers FLAG ]
[ :usage-headers FLAG ] )
#+end_example
- The =packages= argument is a list giving a specification of the packages to be documented. Each element can be either a package designator or a list whose first element is a package designator and other elements are keyword arguments accepted by =write-package-files=. These keywords will be used for the call to =write-package-files= for that package.
- The =default-all=, =default-system=, and =default-path= arguments give the default arguments for the calls to =write-package-files=.
- If =package-extension= is non-nil (its default is =t=), then whenever a package spec does not give an explicit path, it should use a subdirectory of the default path whose name is taken from the package. If =extension-downcase= is non-nil (its default is =t=), then the package name is converted to lower-case for this extension.
- The =index-acc= is a hash-table used to accumulate symbol references for an index page, or =nil= if no index data should be saved.
- The =show-package=, =hoist-exported=, and =page-title= keyword arguments direct the formatting of the index page which this routine should create when it is the entry call to this package.
- If =show-package= is non-nil, then the symbol’s package name will be dsplayed on any index page.
- If =hoist-exported= in non-nil, then the list of symbols will be divided according to the package which exports each symbol, or by internal symbols of all packages.
- If non-nil, =page-title= should be a string to be used as the page name.

Package

Function: write-symbol-files (symbol directory-path &key index-acc always-disambiguate types)

Writes Org-mode files (in the directory named by =directory-path=) documenting the uses of the given =symbol=.
#+begin_example
(write-symbol-files SYMBOL DIRECTORY-PATH
[ :index-acc HASH ] [ :always-disambiguate FLAG ] )
#+end_example
- The =index-acc= is a hash-table used to accumulate symbol references for an index page, or =nil= if no index data should be saved.
- This function will write a separate file for each /use/ of the symbol, disambiguating the file name where necessary with =__fn=, =__var= and so forth. If =always-disambiguate= is non-nil, then these suffixes will /always/ be added to the names of the generated files, even when a symbol has only one usage.
