api_type_documentation (public, deprecated)

 api_type_documentation type
Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Deprecated: this was part of a feature which used to react to the 'type' property set in ad_page_contract's documentation and generate an extra link in /api-doc/package-view, but currently no upstream script seems to specify this value and no code seems to create necessary 'doc_type_doc' nsv

Parameters:
type
Returns:
HTML fragment of the API docs.

apidoc::format_author (public)

 apidoc::format_author author_string

Extracts information about the author and formats it into an HTML string.

Parameters:
author_string - author information to format. 3 kind of formats are expected: email (a mailto link to the email is generated), whitespace-separated couple " ()" (a mailto link for email and the name are generated) and free-form (the same input string is returned).
Returns:
the formatted result

Parameters:
see - a string expected to contain the resource to format
Returns:
the html string representing the resource

apidoc::tcl_to_html (public)

 apidoc::tcl_to_html proc_name

Given a proc name, formats it as HTML, including highlighting syntax in various colors and creating hyperlinks to other proc definitions. The inspiration for this proc was the tcl2html script created by Jeff Hobbs.

Known Issues:

  1. This proc will mistakenly highlight switch strings that look like commands as commands, etc.
  2. There are many undocumented AOLserver commands including all of the commands added by modules.
  3. When a proc inside a string has explicitly quoted arguments, they are not formatted.
  4. regexp and regsub are hard to parse properly. E.g. If we use the start option, and we quote its argument, and we have an ugly regexp, then this code might highlight it incorrectly.

Parameters:
proc_name - procedure to format in HTML
