doc_html.pl -- PlDoc HTML backend
PublicShow source

This module translates the Herbrand term from the documentation extracting module doc_wiki.pl into HTML+CSS.

To be done
- Split put generation from computation as computation is reusable in other backends.
Source doc_for_file(+File, +Options) is det
HTTP handler that writes documentation for File as HTML. Options:
public_only(+Bool)
If true (default), only emit documentation for exported predicates.
edit(Bool)
If true, provide edit buttons. Default, these buttons are suppressed.
title(+Title)
Specify the page title. Default is the base name of the file.
Arguments:
File- Prolog file specification or xref source id.
Source doc_resources(+Options)// is det
Include required resources (CSS, JS) into the output. The first clause supports doc_files.pl. A bit hacky ...
Source doc_file_objects(+FileSpec, -File, -Objects, -FileOptions, +Options) is det
Extracts relevant information for FileSpec from the PlDoc database. FileOptions contains:
  • file(Title:string, Comment:string)
  • module(Module:atom)
  • public(Public:list(predicate_indicator)

Objects contains

  • doc(PI:predicate_indicator, File:Line, Comment)

We distinguish three different states for FileSpec:

  1. File was cross-referenced with collection enabled. All information is in the xref database.
  2. File was loaded. If comments are not loaded, cross-reference the file, while storing the comments as the compiler would do.
  3. Neither of the above. In this case we cross-reference the file.
Arguments:
FileSpec- File specification as used for load_files/2.
File- Prolog canonical filename
Source ensure_doc_objects(+File) is det
Ensure we have documentation about File. If we have no comments for the file because it was loaded before comment collection was enabled, run the cross-referencer on it to collect the comments and meta-information.
Arguments:
File- is a canonical filename that is loaded.
Source module_info(+File, -ModuleOptions, +OtherOptions) is det
Add options module(Name), public(Exports) to OtherOptions if File is a module file.
Source doc_hide_private(+Objs, +Public, +Options)

Call the hook doc_object_footer//2. This hook will be used to deal with examples.
Source object_page_footer(+Obj, +Options)// is det
Call the hook doc_object_page_footer//2. This hook will be used to deal with annotations.
Source object_synopsis(Obj, Options)// is det
Provide additional information about Obj. Note that due to reexport facilities, predicates may be available from multiple modules.
To be done
- Currently we provide a synopsis for the one where the definition resides. This is not always correct. Notably there are cases where multiple implementation modules are bundled in a larger interface that is the `preferred' module.
Source unquote_filespec(+Spec, -Unquoted) is det
Translate e.g. library('semweb/rdf_db') into library(semweb/rdf_db).
Source doc_write_html(+Out:stream, +Title:atomic, +DOM) is det

Source print_html_head(+Out:stream) is det
Print the DOCTYPE line.
Source tags(+Tags)// is det
Emit the @tag tags of a description. Tags is produced by tags/3.
See also
- combine_tags/2.
Source tag(+Tag, +Values:list)// is det
Called from \tag(Name, Values) terms produced by doc_wiki.pl.
Source doc_tag_title(+Tag, -Title) is det
Title is the name to use for Tag in the generated documentation.
Source object_tree(+Tree, +Current, +Options)// is det
Render a tree of objects used for navigation.
Source pred_dt(+Modes, +Class, Options)// is det
Emit the predicate header.
Arguments:
Modes- List as returned by process_modes/5.
Source pred_edit_button(+PredIndicator, +Options)// is det
Create a button for editing the given predicate. Options processed:
module(M)
Resolve to module M
file(F)
For multi-file predicates: link to version in file.
line(L)
Line to edit (in file)
Source object_edit_button(+Object, +Options)// is det
Create a button for editing Object.
Source object_source_button(+Object, +Options)// is det
Create a button for showing the source of Object.
Source is_op_type(+Atom, ?Type)
True if Atom is an operator of Type. Type is one of prefix, infix or postfix.
Source term(+Text, +Term, +Bindings)// is det
Process the \term element as produced by doc_wiki.pl.
To be done
- Properly merge with pred_head//1
Source predref(+PI)// is det
Source predref(+PI, +Options)// is det
Create a reference to a predicate. The reference consists of the relative path to the file using the predicate indicator as anchor.

Current file must be available through the global variable pldoc_file. If this variable not set it creates a link to /doc/<file>#anchor. Such links only work in the online browser.

Source nopredref(+PI)//
Result of name/arity, non-linking predicate indicator.
Source flagref(+Flag)//
Reference to a Prolog flag.
To be done

Source file(+FileName)// is det

edit_handler(+Id)
HTTP handler Id to call if the user clicks the edit button.
To be done
- Translation of files to HREFS is a mess. How to relate these elegantly?
Source existing_linked_file(+File, -Path) is semidet
True if File is a path to an existing file relative to the current file. Path is the absolute location of File.
Source include(+FileName, +Type, +Options)// is det
