Flatworm Docs
The Flatworm Docs rendering script is designed to be very simple, but provide enough formatting necessary for documenting JavaScript libraries.
A lot of its inspiration came from Read the Docs and the Sphinx project.
Fragments
Flatworm Docs are made up of fragments. A fragment is either a lone body of markdown text, or a directive for specialized formatting, which may itself have body.
Directive Format
_DIRECTIVE: VALUE @<LINK>
BODY
DIRECTIVE: The directive name
VALUE: Optional; the value to pass to the directive
LINK: Optional; a name for internal linking
BODY: Optional; the directive body (certain directives only)
Flatworm Directives
_section: TITLE
A section has its TITLE in an H1 font. Sections are linked
to in Table of Contents and have a dividing line drawn above
them. If an option is specified, it is avaialble as a name for
intern linking. There should only be one _section: per page.
_subsection: TITLE
A subsection has its TITLE in an H2 font. Subsections are linked to in Table of Contents and have a dividing line drawn above them. If an option is specified, it is avaialble as a name for internal linking.
_heading: TITLE
A heading has its TITLE in an H3 font. If an option is specified, it is available as a name for internal linking.
_definition: TERM
A definition has its TERM bolded and the markdown body is indented.
_property: SIGNATURE
A property has its JavaScript SIGNATURE formatted and the markdown body is indented.
_code: FILENAME
A code reads the FILENAME and depending on the extension adjusts it.
For JavaScript files, the file is executed, with //! replaced
with the result of the last statement and //!error is replaced
with the throw error. If the error state does not agree, rendering
fails.
_toc:
A toc injects a Table of Contents, loading each line of the body as a filename and recursively loads the toc if present, otherwise all the sections and subsections.
_null:
A null is used to terminated a directive. For example, after a definition, the bodies are indented, so a null can be used to reset the indentation.
Examples
_section: Hello World @<link-to-this-section>
_subsection: Some Example @<link-to-this-subsection>
_heading: Large Bold Text @<link-to-this-heading>
_definition: Flatworm
A phylum of relatively **simple** bilaterian, unsegmented,
soft-bodied invertebrates.
_property: String.fromCharCode(code) => string
Returns a string created from //code//, a sequence of
UTF-16 code units.
_code: filename.js
_toc:
some-file
some-directory
_null:
This breaks out of a directive. For example, to end a
_definition and reset the indentation.
Markdown
The markdown is simple and does not have the flexibility of
other dialects, but allows for bold, italic,
underlined, monospaced, ^super-scripted text,
supporting links and lists.
**bold text**
//italic text//
__underlined text__
``monospace code``
^^superscript text^^
- This is a list
- With bullet points
- With a total of three items
This is separated by -- an en-dash.
This is separated by --- an em-dash.
This is a [Link to Ethereum](https://ethereum.org) and this
is an [Internal Link](some-link).
This is a self-titled link [[https://ethereumorg]] and this
[[some-link]] will use the title from its directives value.
