# This program illustrates the basic use of the SimpleMarkup # class. It extracts the first comment block from the # simple_markup.rb file and converts it into HTML on # standard output. Run it using # # % ruby sample.rb # # You should be in the sample/rdoc/markup/ directory when you do this, # as it hardwires the path to the files it needs to require. # This isn't necessary in the code you write once you've # installed the package. # # For a better way of formatting code comment blocks (and more) # see the rdoc package. # require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup' require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup/to_html' # Extract the comment block from the source file input_string = "" File.foreach("../../../lib/rdoc/markup/simple_markup.rb") do |line| break unless line.gsub!(/^\# ?/, '') input_string << line end # Create a markup object markup = SM::SimpleMarkup.new # Attach it to an HTML formatter h = SM::ToHtml.new # And convert out comment block to html. Wrap it a body # tag pair to let browsers view it puts "" puts markup.convert(input_string, h) puts ""
