I wanted a concise way to see the rdocs for all the plugins I use in my project. I threw together a quick program to generate it for me, and I thought you guys might be interested. It creates a plugins.html in your application''s root directory, with links to rdoc that it generates in each plugin''s own directory. I just added a frame to the rdoc-generated index.html in my own project and pointed it to this plugins.html. I put this script in my application''s scripts directory and invoke it with: ruby script/document_plugins Regards, Jeff document_plugins.rb: -------------------- require ''rdoc/rdoc'' dir = Dir.new("vendor/plugins") outfile = File.new("plugins.html", "w") file_start=<<''FILESTART'' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-- Plugins --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Plugins</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="doc/rdoc/rdoc-style.css" type="text/css" /> <base target="docwin" /> </head> <body> <div id="index"> <h1 class="section-bar">Plugins</h1> <div id="index-entries"> FILESTART outfile.write(file_start) Dir.glob("vendor/plugins/*").each do |relPath| plugin = File.split(relPath).last puts relPath + ", " + plugin outfile.write(" <a href=\"#{relPath}/doc/rdoc/index.html\" target=\"_plugins\">#{plugin}</a><br/>\n"); origDir = Dir.pwd begin Dir.chdir(relPath) r = RDoc::RDoc.new r.document ["--op","doc/rdoc", "-S", "--main", "README"] + Dir.glob("*") rescue RDoc::RDocError => e $stderr.puts e.message ensure Dir.chdir origDir end end file_end=<<''FILEEND'' </div> </div> </body> </html> FILEEND outfile.write(file_end) ---------------------------- end of document_plugins.rb ---------------------------- index.html (add to project''s root directory) -------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>RDoc Documentation</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> <frameset cols="20%,*"> <frameset rows="25%,25%,25%,25%"> <frame src="doc/rdoc/fr_file_index.html" title="Files" name="Files" /> <frame src="doc/rdoc/fr_class_index.html" name="Classes" /> <frame src="doc/rdoc/fr_method_index.html" name="Methods" /> <frame src="plugins.html" name="Plugins" /> </frameset> <frame src="doc/rdoc/files/README.html" name="docwin"> <noframes> <body bgcolor="white"> Click <a href="html/index.html">here</a> for a non-frames version of this page. </body> </noframes> </frameset> </html> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
