.SH NAME
|
||
|
mdoc assemble \- Compile documentation for use in \fBmonodoc\fR(1)
|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.B mdoc assemble
|
||
|
[OPTIONS]+
|
||

|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
\fBmdoc assemble\fR creates \fI.tree\fR and \fI.zip\fR files from \fIPATHS\fR
|
||
|
for use in the \fBmonodoc\fR(1) documentation browser.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The input files must have a supported \fIformat\fR, specified with the
|
||
|
\fI--format\fR option.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI.tree\fR and \fI.zip\fR files are copied into \fBmonodoc\fR's
|
||
|
\fIsources\fR directory, alongside a \fI.source\fR file which is used by
|
||
|
\fBmonodoc\fR(1) to specify where the documentation should be displayed.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI.source\fR file has the following format:
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
|
||
|
<monodoc>
|
||
|
<node label="LABEL" name="PATH" parent="PARENT">
|
||
|
<node label="LABEL2" name="PATH2" />
|
||
|
<!-- ... -->
|
||
|
</node>
|
||
|
<source provider="PROVIDER" basefile="BASEFILE" path="PATH" />
|
||
|
<!-- other <source/> elements -->
|
||
|
</monodoc>
|
||
|
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
The \fI/monodoc/node\fR node is an optional node that specifies where in the
|
||
|
monodoc tree the documentation should be displayed, and \fI//node\fR elements
|
||
|
may be nested to any depth to create trees. \fI//node/@label\fR is the label
|
||
|
that will be displayed within the monodoc tree.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
\fI//node/@name\fR is the name of the monodoc tree node, and may be used as
|
||
|
the value of the \fI/monodoc/source/@path\fR value.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
\fI//node/@parent\fR is the node name to use as the parent node.
|
||
|
\fI$MONO_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml\fR contains a list of such
|
||
|
names, and this can be any \fI//node/@name\fR value. If the
|
||
|
\fI//node/@parent\fR value isn't found, then it's inserted under the
|
||
|
"Various" tree node.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI/monodoc/source/@provider\fR attribute specifies which format provider
|
||
|
should be used when reading the \fI.tree\fR and \fI.zip\fR files; this
|
||
|
\fImust\fR correspond to one of the \fI--format\fR values.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI/monodoc/source/@basefile\fR attribute specifies the filename prefix
|
||
|
for the documentation files. This must be the same prefix as used with the
|
||
|
\fI\-\-out\fR parameter. There should be \fIno\fR filename extension on this
|
||
|
value.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI/monodoc/source/@path\fR attribute specifies the parent node in
|
||
|
\fBmonodoc\fR(1)'s tree view where the documentation will be inserted.
|
||
|
See the \fI$MONO_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml\fR
|
||
|
file for a list of \fIPATH\fR values (the \fI//node/@name\fR values), or it
|
||
|
may be a \fI//node/@name\fR value in the same \fI.source\fR file.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Once the \fIBASEFILE.source\fR has been written, the documentation can be
|
||
|
installed so that \fBmonodoc\fR(1) will display the documentation with the
|
||
|
command:
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
cp BASEFILE.source BASEFILE.tree BASEFILE.zip \\
|
||
|
`pkg-config monodoc --variable=sourcesdir`
|
||
|
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR=\fIFORMAT\fR
|
||
|
Specifies the documentation format used within \fIPATHS\fR. Valid
|
||
|
\fIFORMAT\fR values include:
|
||
|
\fIecma\fR,
|
||
|
\fIecmaspec\fR,
|
||
|
\fIerror\fR,
|
||
|
\fIhb\fR,
|
||
|
\fIman\fR,
|
||
|
\fIsimple\fR, and
|
||
|
\fIxhtml\fR.
|
||
|
.Sp
|
||
|
See the \fIFORMATS\fR section below for more information about these formats.
|
||
|
.Sp
|
||
|
The default format (if none is specifed) is \fIecma\fR.
|
||
|
.Sp
|
||
|
The \fI\-\-format\fR option may be interleaved with \fIPATHS\fR to
|
||
|
change the format used for the remaining parameters (until the next
|
||
|
\fI\-\-format\fR option is seen), e.g.:
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
mdoc assemble -o PREFIX A B --format=man C D --format=xhtml E
|
||
|
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
will assemble directories \fIA\fR and \fIB\fR with the \fIecma\fR format,
|
||
|
files \fIC\fR and \fID\fR with the \fIman\fR formt, and directory
|
||
|
\fIE\fR with the \fIxhtml\fR format.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-out\fR=\fIPREFIX\fR
|
||
|
Specify the output file prefix. \fBmdoc assemble\fR creates the files
|
||
|
\fIPREFIX.zip\fR and \fIPREFIX.tree\fR.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-?\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
|
||
|
Display a help message and exit.
|
||
|
.SH "FORMATS"
|
||
|
The following documentation formats are supported:
|
||
|
.SS ecma
|
||
|
The \fIMono ECMA Documentation Format\fR, an XML documentation format with one
|
||
|
file per type.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
See the \fBmdoc\fR(5) man page for more information.
|
||
|
.SS ecmaspec
|
||
|
The \fIMono ECMA Specification Documentation Format\fR.
|
||
|
This is not the format you're looking for; it is the format used to represent
|
||
|
the ECMA-334 (C#) standard within \fBmonodoc\fR(1). It is not used to display
|
||
|
class library documentation; for class library documentation, use the
|
||
|
.B ecma
|
||
|
format.
|
||
|
.SS error
|
||
|
The \fIError Documentation Format\fR is used to present detailed error
|
||
|
messages, and is used in \fBmonodoc\fR(1)'s "C# Compiler Error Reference"
|
||
|
tree.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
In this format, \fIPATHS\fR is a configuration file, containing the XML:
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ErrorProviderConfig>
|
||
|
<FilesPath>../../mcs/errors</FilesPath>
|
||
|
<Match>cs????*.cs</Match>
|
||
|
<ErrorNumSubstringStart>2</ErrorNumSubstringStart>
|
||
|
<ErrorNumSubstringLength>4</ErrorNumSubstringLength>
|
||
|
<FriendlyFormatString>CS{0:0###}</FriendlyFormatString>
|
||
|
</ErrorProviderConfig>
|
||
|
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
The elements mean:
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.I /ErrorProviderConfig/FilesPath
|
||
|
Specifies where to look for files.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.I /ErrorProviderConfig/Match
|
||
|
Specifies the filename pattern to look for within the
|
||
|
\fI/ErrorProviderConfig/FilesPath\fR directory.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.I /ErrorProviderConfig/ErrorNumSubstringStart
|
||
|
Specifies where within the filename the error number starts.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.I /ErrorProviderConfig/ErrorNumSubstringLength
|
||
|
Specifies how many characters after
|
||
|
\fI/ErrorProviderConfig/ErrorNumSubstringStart\fR to use for the error number.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.I /ErrorProviderConfig/FriendlyFormatString
|
||
|
Specifies the formatting/display of the node in the \fBmonodoc\fR(1) tree.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
For each file found, it is converted to HTML with C# syntax coloring applied.
|
||
|
.SS simple
|
||
|
The \fISimple Documentation Format\fR file format recursively adds all files
|
||
|
and directories underneath \fIPATHS\fR. When displayed, HTML files are
|
||
|
displayed as-is. Text files are converted into HTML by translating each
|
||
|
newline into an HTML \fI<br>\fR element. No other file type is supported.
|
||
|
.SS man
|
||
|
The \fIMan Page Documentation Format\fR displays groff man pages. (This is
|
||
|
\fInot\fR a full groff parser, and only handles the man page constructs used
|
||
|
within the mono man pages.)
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
\fIPATHS\fR is a set of XML files containing:
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
|
||
|
<manpages>
|
||
|
<manpage name="NAME" page="FILE" />
|
||
|
</manpages>
|
||
|
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
There may be multiple \fI//manpage\fR elements within the root \fI/manpage\fR
|
||
|
element.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI/manpages/manpage/@name\fR attribute contains the display name for the
|
||
|
tree view node, which is also the URL of the man page when using
|
||
|
\fBmonodoc\fR(1)'s \fILookup URL\fR command (before prefixing with a
|
||
|
\fIman:\fR prefix). Thus, if \fI/manpages/manpage/@name\fR contains
|
||
|
\fImono(1)\fR, then \fIman:mono(1)\fR can be used in the \fILookup URL\fR
|
||
|
command to view the \fImono(1)\fR man page.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fI/manpages/manpage/@page\fR attribute is the filename that contains the
|
||
|
man page. If this file does not exist, then \fI/manpages/manpage/@name\fR
|
||
|
will not be displayed within the tree view.
|
||
|
.SS xhtml
|
||
|
The XHTML provider interprets \fIPATHS\fR as a Windows Help file XHTML TOC
|
||
|
file and looks for referenced documents to create the help source.
