First of all, yes, JavaScript in the doc. I don't like this either.
The reason is that the new sections are super useful *when you need
them*. However, in practice, that's rare. So better not make the
signal to noise ratio worst. Future commit will introduce an
auto-generated summary of what's hidden.
This allows to state that this variable has a equivalent beautiful
variable named using the usual conventions. It will generate all
the boilerplate magically and also takes optional fallback variable
names.
So, now ldoc is implemented within ldoc, great!
This is done to allow new custom tags to have the same power and
expressivness as built in ones. This way we can express signals
and theme variables correctly.
It might not be the most pretty of change, but it works. With this
change, it is possible to have multiple "things" in the "same"
section having the "same" name.
This allows for C/C++ style functions with the same name but different
signatures. Lua doesn't handle this well, so it should usually be
avoided. However, constructors might be a valid exception. Most older
widget (and object) constructors have multiple random argument while
newer one use `args`. Deprecating the old ones for the sake of
standardization might be a bit too much for users upgrading from v3.5.
Given the only reason all of those deprecation would happen is because
"its pretty that way", then lets allow 2 constructors and avoid outrage.
The reason for this is that as more of CAPI is brought in line with the
current API guidelines, it is more and more likely the tests will hit
APIs shims (either to test them or because the prototype remains the
same and only the implementation moved to Lua).
Add `dpi.lua` to config.ld even if it isn't added yet. This is
because the way the test run has it cached in the build dir. A full
rebuild would take too long and timeout on travis for semi-large PRs.
For dubious reasons, ldoc uses the human readable name for the URLs
instead of the machine readable one. If the name has multiple words,
this causes the URLs to have spaces or %20 in them.
This commits remove all spaces from the "kinds" and then use `:gsub()`
in the template to convert underscores to spaces.
**WARNING** This breaks all URLs again. But this is necessary to prevent
broken links when the user paste them with spaces instead of %20.
Rather that abusing of how the arguments are displayed to convey the
type, add native support.
It still uses the @param for the doc, so this doesn't cause a million
little noisy changes, but the rendered HTML now have a real section for
the type. This is added to both the summary and the expanded description.
Additionally, if the type has a description string, a second is added.
This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
ldoc has a magical `@classmod` module type which tries to detect
what is a method and what is a static function. It fails about as
often as it works. This commit makes everything explicit to remove
such issues.
Fixes#2640
Ref #1373
The module names for also have their alias. The commit also remove 2
deprecated module that were forgotton in the previous "get rid of the
deprecated modules in the doc" PR.
It worked fine for the table in the header, but the name is also used in
the "main" documentation below. This caused the while text to be within
the "<a>" section.
It was displayed for most sections, but not the functions. This is
problem when the doc already contains a bullet list just before the
parameter section. The two looked as if they were a single list.
There was some issues like `gears.shape.circle` being called
`module.circle`.
There is also a disparity between how the constructor and "normal"
functions are called.
This commit attempts to force everything to have the full module name.
Previously, there was some `module:foo()` or `gears.object:foo()`
because the doc used the "raw" name and/or, in some undefined and
race condition prone (due to `pairs()` order), the formatted
"classmod" name.
Now, just display `:foo()` and be done with it.
Until now there wasn't much documentation available about how to use
these properties. With the new work on `awful.spawn` that rely more and
more on `awful.rules` integration, it is worth fixing.
This commit add a new documentation section and a future commit will
aggregate them to generate an index.
Before this commit, there was a conflict between the spawn and
awful.rules rules.
Also, modules such as Tryannical monkey-patched this function to
add their own rules to the mix. This commit introduce a proper
API to add handlers.
The order is crutial for this to work, so a dependency system is
also added.
Fix#1482
These are supposed to eventually replace the already-existing functions
in gears.surface which have a similar signature

This adds a short text with some hopefully helpful pointers to the top
of the index.html generated by ldoc.

This document is based on the "my first awesome"-page in the old wiki.
Large parts of it are taken almost verbatim from it while others were
handled more freely. For example, instead of referring to the man page
for an overview of the available key bindings, this now mentions Mod4+S.
The "Add widgets"-section is just a todo. The wiki page refers to
Vicious which does not really work for our api documentation. However, I
also didn't want to just drop this part.

This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.
Fix#1246
This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
This meta-lua script takes the "raw" awesomerc.lua and turn it
into the final file and generate a documentation page from its
parsed content. It support
* Turn {{{ into markdown categories
* Turn top level comments into documentation
* Add custom documentation sections
* Parse the code to add links for each API calls
This helps generate a good entry point for new users wanting to
understand the content of rc.lua without searching the API by
hand.
Over time, this will also become the basis of the documentation.
If `rc.lua` is separated into several files, this will be easy to fix
this script. It could even do the separation itself from a monolitic
file using the already implemented {{{ parser.
This is the current version of the FAQ in the wiki converted to markdown, but
some IMO bogus content was stripped (e.g. references to awesome being a
non-reparenting WM).

ldoc doesn't allow to specify fields from class "A" into class "B",
so the only solution is to merge the 2.
Also, one of the most common complain on IRC since Awesome 3.0 is
that the client API doc is confusing since it is in 2 different files.
Also restore the `awful.client` doc link, point to `client`
This will avoid broken links.
Previously, the `Signals` section was shown before the `Functions`.
This was confusing and different from other framework documentation.
It partially work. Not all ldoc output display the functions at the
top, but some does. Previously, none did.
This commit also add 3 new sections:
* property: For object properties, replacing the "fields" table
from the current documentations.
* deprecated: For deprecated methods
* beautiful: For widgets theme options
Instead of `client.client`, the client object is now referred to as
`client.object` and the client class as `client.class`.
This moves the documentation of `client.focus` to the class.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/349.
