Rhai Script Documentation Tool

The Rhai Script Documentation Tool, rhai-doc, takes a source directory and scans for Rhai script files (recursively), building a web-based documentation site for all functions defined.

Documentation is taken from MarkDown-formatted doc-comments on the functions.

Configuration file

A configuration file, which is usually named rhai.toml, contains configuration options for rhai-doc and must be placed in the source directory.

A skeleton rhai.toml can be generated inside the source directory via the new command.

An alternate configuration file can be specified via the --config option.

Example

name = "My Rhai Project"                # project name
color = [246, 119, 2]                   # theme color
root = "/docs/"                         # root URL for generated site
index = "home.md"                       # this file becomes 'index.html'
icon = "logo.svg"                       # project icon
stylesheet = "my_stylesheet.css"        # custom stylesheet
code_theme = "atom-one-light"           # 'highlight.js' theme
code_lang = "ts"                        # default language for code blocks
extension = "rhai"                      # script extension

By default, `rhai-doc` will generate documentation pages from a `pages` sub-directory
under the scripts directory. The pages are assumed to be in [MarkDown].

Alternatively, you can specify another location via the `--pages` option.
