TomDoc

TomDoc is documentation for humans. Using a few simple rules and zero special syntax you can produce great looking documentation for both humans and machines.

Just follow these four easy steps:

  1. Describe your method
  2. Optionally list and describe its arguments
  3. Optionally list some examples
  4. Explain what your method returns

Like this:

# Duplicate some text an arbitrary number of times.
#
# text  - The String to be duplicated.
# count - The Integer number of times to duplicate the text.
#
# Examples
#   multiplex('Tom', 4)
#   # => 'TomTomTomTom'
#
# Returns the duplicated String.
def multiplex(text, count)
  text * count
end

See the manual or the spec for a more in-depth analysis.
