Utilities

Provides a collection of utility functions and types that are used in other submodules.

Represents an object stored in the docsystem by its binding and signature.

Returns the path to the Documenter assets directory.

Prints a formatted warning to the user listing unrecognised keyword arguments.

Returns the current directory.

Returns the category name of the provided Object.

docs(ex, str)

Returns an expression that, when evaluated, returns the docstrings associated with ex.

filterdocs(doc, modules)

Remove docstrings from the markdown object, doc, that are not from one of modules.

get_commit_short(dir)

Returns the first 5 characters of the current git commit hash of the directory dir.

in_cygwin()

Check if we're running under cygwin. Useful when we need to translate cygwin paths to windows paths.

isabsurl(url)

Checks whether url is an absolute URL (as opposed to a relative one).

issubmodule(sub, mod)

Checks whether sub is a submodule of mod. A module is also considered to be its own submodule.

E.g. A.B.C is a submodule of A, A.B and A.B.C, but it is not a submodule of D, A.D nor A.B.C.D.

Format and print a message to the user.

logging(flag::Bool)

Enable or disable logging output for log and warn.

Does the given docstring represent actual documentation or a no docs error message?

object(ex, str)

Returns a expression that, when evaluated, returns an Object representing ex.

Returns a vector of parsed expressions and their corresponding raw strings.

Returns a Vector of tuples (expr, code), where expr is the corresponding expression (e.g. a Expr or Symbol object) and code is the string of code the expression was parsed from.

The keyword argument skip = N drops the leading N lines from the input string.

Slugify a string into a suitable URL.

Find the path of a file relative to the source directory. root is the path to the directory containing the file file.

It is meant to be used with walkdir(source).

Returns the set of submodules of a given root module/s.

warn(file, msg)
warn(msg)

Format and print a warning message to the user. Passing a file will include the filename where the warning was raised.

Call a function and capture all STDOUT and STDERR output.

withoutput(f) --> (result, success, backtrace, output)

where

• result is the value returned from calling function f.

• success signals whether f has thrown an error, in which case result stores the Exception that was raised.

• backtrace a Vector{Ptr{Cvoid}} produced by catch_backtrace() if an error is thrown.

• output is the combined output of STDOUT and STDERR during execution of f.
