Class TaskJuggler::SyntaxReference
In: lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb
Parent: Object

This class can traverse the syntax rules of the ProjectFileParser and extract all documented keywords including their arguments and relations. All this work in done in the contructor. The documentation can then be generated for all found keyword or just a single one. Currently plain text output as well as HTML files are supported.

Public Class methods

The constructor is the most important function of this class. It creates a parser object and then traverses all rules and extracts the documented patterns. In a second pass the extracted KeywordDocumentation objects are then cross referenced to capture their relationships. manual is an optional reference to the UserManual object that uses this SyntaxReference.

Public Instance methods

Return a sorted Array with all keywords (as String objects).

    def all
      sorted = @keywords.keys.sort
      # Register the neighbours with each keyword so we can use this info in
      # navigation bars.
      pred = nil
      sorted.each do |kwd|
        keyword = @keywords[kwd]
        pred.successor = keyword if pred
        keyword.predecessor = pred
        pred = keyword
      end
    end

Generate 2 files named navbar.html and alphabet.html. They are used to support navigating through the syntax reference.

    def generateHTMLnavbar(directory, keywords)
      html = HTMLDocument.new
      head = html.generateHead('TaskJuggler Syntax Reference Navigator')
      head << XMLElement.new('base', 'target' => 'display')
      html.html << (body = XMLElement.new('body'))

      body << XMLNamedText.new('Table Of Contents', 'a', 'href' => 'toc.html')
      body << XMLElement.new('br', {}, true)

      normalizedKeywords = {}
      keywords.each do |keyword|
        normalizedKeywords[@keywords[keyword].title] = keyword

      letters = []
      normalizedKeywords.keys.sort!.each do |normalized|
        if normalized[0, 1] != letter
          letter = normalized[0, 1]
          letters << letter
          body << (h = XMLElement.new('h3'))
          h << XMLNamedText.new(letter.upcase, 'a', 'name' => letter)
        end
        keyword = normalizedKeywords[normalized]
        body << XMLNamedText.new("#{normalized}", 'a',
                                 'href' => "#{keyword}.html")

      html.write(directory + 'navbar.html')

      html = HTMLDocument.new
      head = html.generateHead('TaskJuggler Syntax Reference Navigator')
      head << XMLElement.new('base', 'target' => 'navigator')
      html.html << (body = XMLElement.new('body'))

      body << (h3 = XMLElement.new('h3'))
      letters.each do |l|
        h3 << XMLNamedText.new(l.upcase, 'a',
                               'href' => "navbar.html##{l}")

      html.write(directory + 'alphabet.html')

Generate a documentation for the keyword or an error message. The result is a XML String for known keywords. In case of an error the result is empty but an error message will be send to $stderr.

      if checkKeyword(keyword)
        @keywords[keyword].generateHTML(directory)
      else
        ''

        (refs = keyword.references.uniq).empty? ||
          references[keyword.keyword] = refs
      end
      references
    end

Generate entries for a TableOfContents for each of the keywords. The entries are appended to the TableOfContents toc. sectionPrefix is the prefix that is used for the chapter numbers. In case we have 20 keywords and sectionPrefix is ‘A’, the keywords will be enumerated ‘A.1’ to ‘A.20’.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 98
    def tableOfContents(toc, sectionPrefix)
      keywords = all
      # Set the chapter name to 'Syntax Reference' with a link to the first
      # keyword.
      toc.addEntry(TOCEntry.new(sectionPrefix, 'Syntax Reference', keywords[0]))
      i = 1
      keywords.each do |keyword|
        title = @keywords[keyword].title
        toc.addEntry(TOCEntry.new("#{sectionPrefix}.#{i}", title, keyword))
        i += 1
      end
    end

Generate a documentation for the keyword or an error message. The result is a multi-line plain text String for known keywords. In case of an error the result is empty but an error message will be send to $stderr.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 123
    def to_s(keyword)
      if checkKeyword(keyword)
        @keywords[keyword].to_s
      else
        ''
      end
