godork

A system like godoc but designed for static self-hosting.

It comes in various parts:

• The core github.com/AstromechZA/godork package. Provides the parsing and interpretation by wrapping the go/doc api.
• The github.com/AstromechZA/godork/cli binary which wraps all the functionality in a convenient binary.
• A set of example and default templates in the ./templates directory.

Note: Unlike the official godoc, this package doesn't automatically link text in the output format to other symbols and documentation. That'll be an extension to this package in the future.

Examples

An example package is provided that we use to test various features of this.

The two templates that are provided result in the following:

• templates/milligram.html.template -> milligram.example.html
• templates/markdown.md.template -> markdown.example.md

Build the binary

$ cd ./cli
$ ./build

This creates the godork binary.

Usage

A quick example that generates markdown documentation for the package.

$ godork template ./example github.com/AstromechZA/godork/example --template templates/markdown.md.template > templates/markdown.example.md

Markdown is not the best representation when compared to the official godoc stuff but it may be suitable in some places. So we can move onto using a simple html example:

$ godork template ./example github.com/AstromechZA/godork/example --template templates/milligram.html.template --html-mode > templates/milligram.example.html
