The docco
tool (see http://jashkenas.github.com/docco/) generates
HTML from JavaScript source code providing an attractive side-by-side
display of source code and comments. This file (see org-docco.org)
generates the same type of output from Org-mode documents with code
embedded in code blocks.
The way this works is an Org-mode document with embedded code blocks
is exported to html using the standard Org-mode export functions.
This file defines a new function named org-docco-buffer
which, when
added to the org-export-html-final-hook
, will be run automatically
as part of the Org-mod export process doccoizing your Org-mode
document.
A pure source code file can be extracted (or "tangled") from the
Org-mode document using the normal org-babel-tangle
function. See
Working With Source Code chapter of the Org-mode manual for more
information on using code blocks in Org-mode files.
Disclaimer: this currently only works on very simple Org-mode files which have no headings but rather are just a collection of alternating text and code blocks. It wouldn't be difficult to generalize the following code so that it could be run in particular sub-trees but I simply don't have the time to do so myself, and this version perfectly satisfies my own limit needs. I make no promises to support this code moving forward. Caveat Emptor

The cl
package provides all of the state-changing functions used
below e.g., push
and incf
. It looks like a namespace-safe version
of cl
may soon be permissible for use in official Emacs packages.
;;; Code: (require 'cl)
This is a function which returns the buffer positions of matching regular expressions. It has two special features…
It only counts matched instances of beg-re
and end-re
which are
properly nested, so for example if beg-re
and end-re
are set to
(
and )
respectively and we run this against the following,
1 2 3 4 5 6 | | | | | | v v v v v v (foo (bar baz) (qux) quux)
it will return 1 and 6 rather than 1 and 3.
It uses markers which save their position in a buffer even as the buffer is changed (e.g., by me adding in extra HTML text).
(defun org-docco-balanced-re (beg-re end-re) "Return the beginning and of a balanced regexp." (save-excursion (save-match-data (let ((both-re (concat "\\(" beg-re "\\|" end-re "\\)")) (beg-count 0) (end-count 0) beg end) (when (re-search-forward beg-re nil t) (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (setq beg (point-marker)) (incf beg-count) (goto-char (match-end 0)) (while (and (not end) (re-search-forward both-re nil t)) (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (cond ((looking-at beg-re) (incf beg-count)) ((looking-at end-re) (incf end-count)) (:otherwise (error "miss-matched"))) (goto-char (match-end 0)) (when (= beg-count end-count) (setq end (point-marker)))) (when end (cons beg end)))))))
This ugly large function does the actual conversion. It wraps the
entire main content div
of the exported Org-mode html into a single
large table. Each row of the table has documentation on the left side
and code on the right side. This function has two parts.
We use (org-docco-balanced-re "<div" "</div>")
to find the
beginning and end of the main content div. We then break up this
div at <pre></pre>
boundaries with multiple calls to
(org-docco-balanced-re "<pre class\"src" "</pre>")
.
With all documentation/code boundaries in hand we step through the buffer inserting the table html code at boundary locations.
(defun org-docco-buffer () "Call from within an HTML buffer to doccoize it." (interactive) (let ((table-start "<table>\n") (doc-row-start "<tr><th class=\"docs\">\n") (doc-row-end "</th>\n") (code-row-start " <td class=\"code\">\n") (code-row-end "</td></tr>\n") (table-end "</table>" ) pair transition-points next) (save-excursion (save-match-data (goto-char (point-min)) (when (re-search-forward "<div id=\"content\">" nil t) (goto-char (match-end 0)) (push (point-marker) transition-points) (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (setq pair (org-docco-balanced-re "<div" "</div>")) (while (setq next (org-docco-balanced-re "<pre class=\"src" "</pre>")) (goto-char (cdr next)) (push (car next) transition-points) (push (cdr next) transition-points)) (goto-char (cdr pair)) (push (and (re-search-backward "</div>" nil t) (point-marker)) transition-points) ;; collected transitions, so build the table (setq transition-points (nreverse transition-points)) (goto-char (pop transition-points)) (insert table-start doc-row-start) (while (> (length transition-points) 1) (goto-char (pop transition-points)) (insert doc-row-end code-row-start) (goto-char (pop transition-points)) (insert code-row-end doc-row-start)) (goto-char (pop transition-points)) (insert code-row-end table-end) (unless (null transition-points) (error "leftover points")))))))
We'll use Emacs File Local Variables and the
org-export-html-final-hook
to control which buffers have
org-docco-buffer
run as part of their export process.
(defvar org-docco-doccoize-me nil "File local variable controlling if html export should be doccoized.") (make-local-variable 'org-docco-doccoize-me)
A simple function will conditionally process HTML output based on the value of this variable.
(defun org-docco-buffer-maybe () (when org-docco-doccoize-me (org-docco-buffer)))
Finally this function is added to the org-export-html-final-hook
.
(add-hook 'org-export-html-final-hook #'org-docco-buffer-maybe)
That's it. To use this simply;
Checkout this file from https://github.com/eschulte/org-docco,
git clone git://github.com/eschulte/org-docco.git
and open it using Emacs.
Tangle org-docco.el
out of this file by calling
org-babel-tangle
or C-c C-v t
.
Load the resulting Emacs Lisp file.
Execute the following in any Org-mode buffer to add file local
variable declarations which will enable post-processed with
org-docco-buffer
.
(add-file-local-variable 'org-export-html-postamble nil) (add-file-local-variable 'org-export-html-style-include-default nil) (add-file-local-variable 'org-docco-doccoize-me t)
And add the following style declaration to make use of the
docco.css
style sheet taken directly from
https://github.com/jashkenas/docco.
