* Upgraded build common to version 1.9.
* Updated the release target in build.xml to take advantage of the new features
of common build 1.9. The release target now copies over the libs and release
resources.
* JLPMain now recognises directories in it's input list. It will add all the
files in a given directory to the input list (including files in abitrarily
nested subdirectories).
* Abstracted the parser behavior further. Processor no longer needs to know
about Parboiled ParseRunners and can use non-Parboiled parsers.
* Created the JLPParser interface to support the new parser abstraction.
* JLPPegParser implements the new interface trivially by creating it's own parse
runner and calling it with the input given.
* Added MarkdownParser, which does not actually parse the file, just creates the
bare-bones SourceFile object needed for the generator to emit the Markdown
contents.
* Added support for multi-line comments to the JLPPegParser grammar
implementation.
* Added a Java sample file.
* Updated test script to add convenience functions for the java test file and
for using a TracingParseRunner for parse runs.
* Added an option, `--css-file`, to allow the caller to specify their own css
file.
* Added basic logic to the Processor class to detect source file types and build
a parser and a generator for that source type. Support currently exists for
the following languages: C (.c, .h), C++ (.cpp, .c++, .hpp, .h++), Erlang
(.erl), Groovy (.groovy), Java (.java), JavaScript (.js).
* Added CSS based on Docco (blatantly copied).
* Updated sample text to better fit the emerging usage patterns. Some of the
things I did to make it render nicely for the Literate output may cause
problems when we go to render API output. I will cross that bridge when I come
to it.
* Added parsing infrastructure to the Generator behaviour to allow a
pre-processing pass over the document. Current the LiterateMarkdownGenerator
is using this to compile a map of `@org` references.
* Tweaked the HTML output slightly.
* Added a layer over the PegDownProcessor in LiterateMarkdownGenerator to
capture and transform `jlp://` links into relative links.
Ideas:
* For literate output, format like Docco, tables like
Doc | Code
-----------|------------
| docblock | codeblock |
| docblock | codeblock |
| docblock | codeblock |
* For javadoc output, maybe create a running 'pure source' object containing
just the code lines. Then run an sup-parser for the language the code is
written in and build a seperate AST for the code. This code AST then gets
tagged onto the overall AST and is used in the generation phase for code
comprehension. Would still need a way to map doc blocks to code blocks. I
could probably use line numbers. In that case I would need to map the original
source line from the commented input to the 'pure source' while processing the
'pure source' and store the original line number in the code AST. That would
give me a reliable way to lookup the closest code structure to a doc block.
* The code AST would need to made of generic pieces if I want to have
language-agnostic generator code. What may be better is to allow the language
parser to create it's code AST however is wants and just have some pluggable
bit of the generator for each language. Would increase generator code
complexity though.
* Updated test data to include additional parsing edge cases.
* Updated `vbs_db_records.hrl` to use `@org` directives.
* Refactored Generator/Emitter dual-object phase concept into one object, the
Generator. The emitter ended up needing basically full visibility into the
generator anyways.
* Implemented `JLPBaseGenerator`, `MarkdownGenerator`, and
`TransparentGenerator`
* Modified the way the parser handles remaining lines to allow it to safely
handle empty lines.
* Added planning documentation regrding the process.
* Updated grammer.
* Refactored the test code a bit.
* Added sample input file from vbs-suite
* Refactored the AST node structure created by the parser.
