User Command ADOC (Dyalog)
Overview
ADOC is a utility useful to generate documentation (semi-) automatically from class scripts as well as namespace scripts.
Obviously it makes sense to make ADOCs services available as a User Command.
This page offers a small class script ADOC which is designed to do exactly that.
Assumptions
When User Commands got introduced in Dyalog with version 12.1, the User Commands where expected to reside in a sub folder Salt\Spice inside the Dyalog installation folder. This means that the script ADOC.dyalog attached to this page must go into this directory. Only then the User Commd "ADOC" is recognized.
That script, which represents the ADOC User Command, assumes that there is a sibling folder of SALT available named UserCommands. Please make sure that the ADOC script is copied into this folder UserCommands. This enables the User Command script to address the real ADOC script as ..\UserCommands\ADOC.
Samples
Given that the two different ADOC scripts went into the right folders, this would be a sample session:
]?ADOC
"??" for general help, "?CMD" for more specific info on command CMD
