Custom tags

The upcoming JSDuck 5.0 brings a brand new custom tags system. It's much more flexible and powerful than the old system introduced in JSDuck 3.0, but it's not backwards compatible.

To install the 5.0 beta:

$ gem install jsduck --pre

To introduce a new @tag, you'll need to write a Ruby class that implements the tag. Then load the class into JSDuck using the --tags option:

$ jsduck --tags my_custom_tag.rb  ...other.options...

But don't be scared of Ruby. We'll start off with the very simplest of tags that even a monkey can implement.

• Boolean tags
  • HTML output
  • A touch of style
• Single-line tags
  • More about parsing
• Multi-line tags
  • Markdown formatting
• Custom member types
• Generating warnings
• Overriding built-in tags
