Create a documentation task that will generate the RDoc files for a project.
The RDocTask will create the following targets:
- rdoc
- Main task for this RDOC task.
- :clobber_rdoc
- Delete all the rdoc files. This target is automatically added to the main clobber target.
- :rerdoc
- Rebuild the rdoc files from scratch, even if they are not out of date.
Simple Example:
Rake::RDocTask.new do |rd| rd.main = "README.rdoc" rd.rdoc_files.include("README.rdoc", "lib/**/*.rb") end
You may wish to give the task a different name, such as if you are generating two sets of documentation. For instance, if you want to have a development set of documentation including private methods:
Rake::RDocTask.new(:rdoc_dev) do |rd| rd.main = "README.doc" rd.rdoc_files.include("README.rdoc", "lib/**/*.rb") rd.options << "--all" end
The tasks would then be named :rdoc_dev, :clobber_rdoc_dev, and :rerdoc_dev.
