lib.rs:

This small crate is to let developers easily document items generated in macros where the content of the documentation is dynamic.

Examples

#[macro_use]
extern crate docgen;

doc!(
    "Here is some documentation!"
    ""
    "Empty lines are represented by empty strings.";
    pub fn foo() {}
);

Commas can be used as delimitter between lines:

#[macro_use]
extern crate docgen;

doc!(
    "Here is some documentation!",
    "",
    "Empty lines are represented by empty strings.";
    pub fn foo() {}
);

This is particularly useful when documenting items created by macros:

#[macro_use]
extern crate docgen;

macro_rules! add_fn {
    ($name:ident, $ty:ty) => {
        doc!(
            concat!("Add two [`", stringify!($ty), "`] values together.");
            pub fn $name(a: $ty, b: $ty) -> $ty {
                a + b
            }
        );
    }
}

add_fn!(add_u8, u8);
add_fn!(add_i8, i8);
