DocLog

Create documentation from your Prolog code

Example, Scryer Prolog documentation: https://www.scryer.pl

How to document your code?

There are two kind of comments in DocLog: module and predicate.

Each file/module has the option to write a module comment. It will be displayed at the beginning of the page. You can use Djot inside the comment. The syntax is:

/**
COMMENT
MORE COMMENT
*/

Predicate comments start with %% and they're followed by N % comments. Of those lines, the first line comment should be empty. You should indicate in the first line, the name of the predicate, var names and modes. Then you can use Djot to explain the rest of the predicate.

%% append(L0, L1, L)
%
% L is L0 and L1 appended together

Using Doclog

First, clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/aarroyoc/doclog
$ cd doclog

Then, install the dependencies:

$ make setup

After that, you must create a configuration file called doclog.config.pl. This file will contain several options required to document your project, and must be in your source directory. Take a look at scryer.config.pl for an example file.

With your config file, you can execute Doclog:

bash doclog.sh SOURCE_FOLDER OUTPUT_FOLDER

And wait for the docs to be generated!
