RDoc::Markup::

ToHtmlCrossref

class

Subclass of the RDoc::Markup::ToHtml class that supports looking up method names, classes, etc to create links. RDoc::CrossReference is used to generate those links based on the current context.

Attributes

context[RW]

RDoc::CodeObject for generating references

show_hash[RW]

Should we show ‘#’ characters on method references?

Public Class Methods

new(from_path, context, show_hash, hyperlink_all = false, markup = nil)

Creates a new crossref resolver that generates links relative to context which lives at from_path in the generated files. ‘#’ characters on references are removed unless show_hash is true. Only method names preceded by ‘#’ or ‘::’ are linked, unless hyperlink_all is true.

# File lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 31
def initialize(from_path, context, show_hash, hyperlink_all = false,
               markup = nil)
  raise ArgumentError, 'from_path cannot be nil' if from_path.nil?
  super markup

  crossref_re = hyperlink_all ? ALL_CROSSREF_REGEXP : CROSSREF_REGEXP

  @cross_reference = RDoc::CrossReference.new context

  @markup.add_special crossref_re, :CROSSREF

  @context       = context
  @from_path     = from_path
  @hyperlink_all = hyperlink_all
  @show_hash     = show_hash
end

Public Instance Methods

cross_reference(name, text = nil)

Creates a link to the reference name if the name exists. If text is given it is used as the link text, otherwise name is used.

# File lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 52
def cross_reference name, text = nil
  lookup = name

  name = name[1..-1] unless @show_hash if name[0, 1] == '#'

  name = "#{CGI.unescape $'} at #{$1}" if name =~ %r(.*[^#:])@/

  text = name unless text

  link lookup, text
end
gen_url(url, text)

Generates links for rdoc-ref: scheme URLs and allows RDoc::Markup::ToHtml to handle other schemes.

# File lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 117
def gen_url url, text
  return super unless url =~ %r\Ardoc-ref:/

  cross_reference $', text
end
handle_special_CROSSREF(special)

We’re invoked when any text matches the CROSSREF pattern. If we find the corresponding reference, generate a link. If the name we’re looking for contains no punctuation, we look for it up the module/class chain. For example, ToHtml is found, even without the RDoc::Markup:: prefix, because we look for it in module Markup first.

# File lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 71
def handle_special_CROSSREF(special)
  name = special.text

  unless @hyperlink_all then
    # This ensures that words entirely consisting of lowercase letters will
    # not have cross-references generated (to suppress lots of erroneous
    # cross-references to "new" in text, for instance)
    return name if name =~ %r\A[a-z]*\z/
  end

  cross_reference name
