Module Markup

Here, we test the rendering of comment markup.

Sections

Let's get these done first, because sections will be used to break up the rest of this test.

Besides the section heading above, there are also

Subsection headings

and

Sub-subsection headings

but odoc has banned deeper headings. There are also title headings, but they are only allowed in mld files.

Anchors

Sections can have attached Anchors, and it is possible to link to them. Links to section headers should not be set in source code style.

Paragraph

Individual paragraphs can have a heading.

Subparagraph

Parts of a longer paragraph that can be considered alone can also have headings.

Styling

This paragraph has some styled elements: bold and italic , bold italic, emphasis, emphasis within emphasis, bold italic, superscript, subscript . The line spacing should be enough for superscripts and subscripts not to look odd.

Note: In italics emphasis is rendered as normal text while emphasis in emphasis is rendered in italics. It also work the same in links in italics with emphasis in emphasis.

code is a different kind of markup that doesn't allow nested markup.

It's possible for two markup elements to appear next to each other and have a space, and appear nextto each other with no space. It doesn't matter how much space it was in the source: in this sentence, it was two space characters. And in this one, there is a newline.

This is also true between non-code markup and code.

Code can appear inside other markup. Its display shouldn't be affected.

Preformatted text

This is a code block:

    
     let foo = ()
     (** There are some nested comments in here, but an unpaired comment
         terminator would terminate the whole doc surrounding comment. It's
         best to keep code blocks no wider than 72 characters. *)
     
     let bar =
       ignore foo
    
   

There are also verbatim blocks:

The main difference is these don't get syntax highlighting.

Lists

  • This is a

  • shorthand bulleted list,

  • and the paragraphs in each list item support styling.

  1. This is a

  2. shorthand numbered list.

  • Shorthand list items can span multiple lines, however trying to put two paragraphs into a shorthand list item using a double line break

just creates a paragraph outside the list.

  • Similarly, inserting a blank line between two list items

  • creates two separate lists.

  • To get around this limitation, one

    can use explicitly-delimited lists.

  • This one is bulleted,

  1. but there is also the numbered variant.

    • lists

    • can be nested

    • and can include references

    • foo

Unicode

The parser supports any ASCII-compatible encoding, in particuλar UTF-8.

Raw HTML

Raw HTML can be as inline elements into sentences.

If the raw HTML is the only thing in a paragraph, it is treated as a block element, and won't be wrapped in paragraph tags by the HTML generator.

Math

Math elements can be inline: \int_{-\infty}^\infty, or blocks:

         % \f is defined as #1f(#2) using the macro
         \newcommand{\f}[2]{#1f(#2)}
         \f\relax{x} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
         \f\hat\xi\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
         \,d\xi
         
    

Modules

Tags

Each comment can end with zero or more tags. Here are some examples:

  • author antron

  • deprecated

    a long time ago

  • parameter foo

    unused

  • raises Failure

    always

  • returns

    never

  • see #

    this url

  • see foo.ml

    this file

  • see Foo

    this document

  • since 0

  • before 1.0

    it was in beta

  • version -1

val foo : unit

Comments in structure items support markup, t oo.
