The canonical home page for this project is https://codeberg.org/aerique/src2markup
(The library is also pushed to GitLab and Sourcehut but those sites are not monitored for support.)
src2md
converts a source code file to a file parsable by
Markdown. This document
is an example of a source code file converted by src2md
.
The plan for this software is to do 'inverse' literate programming.
Normal literate programming has its own format that needs to be run
through a tool to get compilable source code. src2md
starts from the
idea that one always has valid source code and that one extracts the
documentation from that.
Currently it works OK for single files but it needs to expand to be able to compose nice docs from multiple source files with some directives.
I have used pbook.el in the past and really like that approach to documenting code but it offered too few options to markup the comments. I could ofcourse have helped improve pbook but this current approach is a hack that I had to get out of my system (also known as the NIH syndrome).
Also, src2md
doesn't depend on Emacs which can be a good thing for some
people (not me).

(assuming src2md
has been made executable)
./src2md src2md
./src2md src2md | markdown > src2md.html
v0.7: Update download URL. (2018-10-16)
v0.6: Put code in div with background color. (2013-02-27)
v0.5: Fixed some code getting appended to text. Removed coloring of code for now. (2013-02-08)
v0.4: Added more comment tags and changed name from cl2md
to src2md
. (2010-03-19)
v0.3: Some minor documentation changes. (2010-03-18)
v0.2: Source code blocks are now in a different colour (*code-colour*). (2010-03-18)
v0.1: Initial version. (2010-03-17)
(defparameter *code-colour* "#6f0f00")
If a line starts with one of these it will treated as a comment (order is
important here because of (length tag)
in commentp
!):
(defparameter *comment-tags* '("# " "#" "// " "//" "/* " "/*" "*/"
";;;; " ";;; " ";; " ";;;;" ";;;" ";;"))
If a line starts with one of these it will not be output:
(defparameter *ignore-tags* '("#!" "#- " "#-" "//- " "//-" "/*- " "/*-"
";;;;- " ";;;- " ";;- " ";;;;-" ";;;-" ";;-"))
This function is from On Lisp by Paul Graham:
(defun mkstr (&rest args)
(with-output-to-string (s)
(dolist (a args) (princ a s))))
(defun starts-with (sequence subsequence)
"Returns T if SEQUENCE starts with SUBSEQUENCE otherwise returns NIL."
(let ((sublen (length subsequence)))
(when (and (> sublen 0)
(<= sublen (length sequence)))
(equal (subseq sequence 0 sublen) subsequence))))
Returns either nil or the comment line with the comment characters (as
listed in tags
/ *comment-tags*
) stripped away in front of it.
(defun commentp (string &optional (tags *comment-tags*))
"If STRING starts with any of the items in TAGS a substring of STRING is
returned that has the TAG it matched on chopped off.
If there are no matches NIL is returned."
(loop for tag in tags
when (starts-with string tag)
do (return-from commentp (subseq string (length tag)))))
These two functions speak for themselves:
(defun ignorep (string &optional (tags *ignore-tags*))
(loop for tag in tags
when (starts-with string tag)
do (return-from ignorep t)))
(defun print-usage ()
(format t "usage: src2md file
Converts \"file\" to a format that can be parsed by the markdown-command
and prints it to standard output.~%"))
This is where most of the functionality resides.
line
is set to a line from input and it is run through the commentp
function. Then:
(ignorep line)
returns true the line is ignored;commentp
contains a comment line it is printed with the comment
characters stripped away;line
is output.Normal lines which aren't comments (so actual code) are output with four spaces in front of them so Markdown will treat them as code.
(defun process-file (file)
(with-open-file (f file)
(loop with last-line-comment = t
for line = (read-line f nil nil)
for commentp = (commentp line)
while line
do (cond ;; line that needs to be ignored
((ignorep line))
;; empty line
((= 0 (length line))
(terpri))
;; comment line
(commentp
(when (not last-line-comment)
(format t "</div>~%")
(terpri))
(setf last-line-comment t)
(format t "~A~%" commentp))
(t
(when (and last-line-comment
(> (length line) 0))
(format t " <div style=\"background-color: #efefef; margin: 16pt; padding: 4pt\">~%" *code-colour*)
(terpri))
(setf last-line-comment nil)
(format t " ~A~%" line))))))
Very basic check for arguments. If there are none help text will be
printed and if there are arguments then the first one is passed on to the
process-file
function.
This should ofcourse be improved and extended bit it suffices for now.
(cond ((null *args*) (print-usage))
(t (process-file (first *args*))))
