Fix C extension docs in ruby/ruby#3927
Merged
Conversation
Because ruby/ruby doesn't use our rake task it also uses the default markup (rdoc), unless specified otherwise. github.com/ruby/pull/3572 already added it explicitly to ruby files. For C however, it is not so easy because of a rdoc bug: ruby/rdoc#1597 Adding the comment would remove all documentation since it gets parsed as ruby. So, specify it for each method individually. Remove it from the template since there is only one C file relevant for rdoc.

Honestly instead of doing this I'd be more keen to just use actual rdoc syntax |

Rdoc will switch the default to markdown in the future https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/?tab=readme-ov-file#markup-formats No clue when that actually happens but in the future we can just remove all these comments (and in ruby files too) |

So, specify it for each method individually. Remove it from the template since there is only one C file relevant for rdoc. Fixes this:
which is hopefully the last issue. I diffed the docs in ruby/prism and this creates no difference here.
