RDoc::Page

This is how you define the HTML that RDoc generates. Simply create a file in rdoc/generators/html_templates that creates the module RDoc::Page and populate it as described below. Then invoke rdoc using the –template <name of your file> option, and your template will be used.

The constants defining pages use a simple templating system:

  • The templating system is passed a hash. Keys in the hash correspond to tags on this page. The tag %abc% is looked up in the hash, and is replaced by the corresponding hash value.

  • Some tags are optional. You can detect this using IF/ENDIF

    IF: title
    The value of title is %title%
    ENDIF: title
  • Some entries in the hash have values that are arrays, where each entry in the array is itself a hash. These are used to generate lists using the START: construct. For example, given a hash containing

    { 'people' => [ { 'name' => 'Fred', 'age' => '12' },
                    { 'name' => 'Mary', 'age' => '21' } ]

    You could generate a simple table using

    <table>
    START:people
      <tr><td>%name%<td>%age%</tr>
    END:people
    </table>

    These lists can be nested to an arbitrary depth

  • the construct HREF:url:name: generates <a href=“%url%”>%name%</a> if url is defined in the hash, or %name% otherwise.
