# :main: README.rdoc

##
# RDoc produces documentation for Ruby source files by parsing the source and
# extracting the definition for classes, modules, methods, includes and
# requires.  It associates these with optional documentation contained in an
# immediately preceding comment block then renders the result using an output
# formatter.
#
# For a simple introduction to writing or generating documentation using RDoc
# see the README.
#
# == Roadmap
#
# If you think you found a bug in RDoc see CONTRIBUTING@Bugs
#
# If you want to use RDoc to create documentation for your Ruby source files,
# see RDoc::Markup and refer to <tt>rdoc --help</tt> for command line usage.
#
# If you want to set the default markup format see
# RDoc::Markup@Supported+Formats
#
# If you want to store rdoc configuration in your gem (such as the default
# markup format) see RDoc::Options@Saved+Options
#
# If you want to write documentation for Ruby files see RDoc::Parser::Ruby
#
# If you want to write documentation for extensions written in C see
# RDoc::Parser::C
#
# If you want to generate documentation using <tt>rake</tt> see RDoc::Task.
#
# If you want to drive RDoc programmatically, see RDoc::RDoc.
#
# If you want to use the library to format text blocks into HTML or other
# formats, look at RDoc::Markup.
#
# If you want to make an RDoc plugin such as a generator or directive handler
# see RDoc::RDoc.
#
# If you want to write your own output generator see RDoc::Generator.
#
# If you want an overview of how RDoc works see CONTRIBUTING
#
# == Credits
#
# RDoc is currently being maintained by Eric Hodel <drbrain@segment7.net>.
#
# Dave Thomas <dave@pragmaticprogrammer.com> is the original author of RDoc.
#
# * The Ruby parser in rdoc/parse.rb is based heavily on the outstanding
#   work of Keiju ISHITSUKA of Nippon Rational Inc, who produced the Ruby
#   parser for irb and the rtags package.
