org-mode/contrib/scripts/org-docco.org

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.
1. 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.
1. 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 =
= boundaries with multiple calls to =(org-docco-balanced-re "

")=.
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 "

\n") (doc-row-start "\n") (code-row-start " \n") (table-end "

\n") (doc-row-end "	\n") (code-row-end "

" ) pair transition-points next) (save-excursion (save-match-data (goto-char (point-min)) (when (re-search-forward "

" nil t) (goto-char (match-end 0)) (push (point-marker) transition-points) (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (setq pair (org-docco-balanced-re "")) (while (setq next (org-docco-balanced-re "

"))
            (goto-char (cdr next))
            (push (car next) transition-points)
            (push (cdr next) transition-points))
          (goto-char (cdr pair))
          (push (and (re-search-backward "

" 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.

#+Style: 

(provide 'org-docco) ;;; org-docco.el ends here
