###( pliDoc - literate programming at its best ========================================= TL;DR ----- pliDoc is a node tool which generates literate-programming documents in *every* programming language. Questions ? ----------- > What does this name mean ? 'Pli' is the [Esperanto] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto) word for 'more' and 'Doc' stands for Documentation. > Does this mean that I have to learn Esperanto to use pliDoc ? No, this Esperanto word just shows, that pliDoc can be used to do literate programming in *any* programming language from 'A' like 'Ada' to 'Y' like 'YAML' and makes it easy to write *more* and *better* documentation. > So what does pliDoc for me ? pliDoc generates documentation from markdown comments in a source file. The source is highlighted and the nicely rendered documentation is placed in between. pliDoc is based on [Docco] (http://github.com/jashkenas/docco). What makes pliDoc better than Docco ? ----------------------------------- While Docco does what it does in a quick and dirty way, there are some things missing in its feature set: - Seperate code *comments* from literate programming style *descriptions* by using different tags to denote them. - Use multiline comments for the documentation. - Include Mathjax to directly support mathematics with Latex-equations and make it markdown compatible. - Pack documentation in *one* single html-document, including all css-assets, fonts, etc. This is helpful e.g. for code reviews, since you then only have to send one single file instead of a whole zip file. Installation: sudo npm install -g plidoc Usage: docco [options] FILES Options: -h, --help output usage information -V, --version output the version number -l, --layout [layout] choose a built-in layouts (parallel, linear) -c, --css [file] use a custom css file -o, --output [path] use a custom output path -t, --template [file] use a custom .jst template -e, --extension [ext] use the given file extension for all inputs -L, --languages [file] use a custom languages.json
