Marginalia has a new home

Ultra-lightweight literate programming[1] for Clojure and ClojureScript inspired by docco

Marginalia is a source code documentation tool that parses Clojure and ClojureScript code and outputs a side-by-side source view with appropriate comments and docstrings aligned.

To get a quick look at what the Marginalia output looks like, visit the official site.

Currently Marginalia can be used in a number of ways as described below.

https://github.com/clj-commons/lein-marginalia

To use Marginalia with Leiningen add the following code to the project's project.clj file:

With Leiningen 1.x, add [lein-marginalia "0.9.2"] to your project.clj's :dev-dependencies argument of the defproject function, then run lein deps. With Leiningen 2.x, add [[lein-marginalia "0.9.2"]] to the :plugins entry in either your project.clj file or your :user profile. See the lein-marginalia page for more details.

Once installed, you can generate your complete source documentation with the command:

lein marg <options> <files>

Marginalia accepts options as described below:

• -d --dir Directory into which the documentation will be written (default docs)
• -f --file File into which the documentation will be written (default uberdoc.html)
• -n --name Project name (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -v --version Project version (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -D --desc Project description (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -a --deps Project dependencies in the form <group1>:<artifact1>:<version1>;<group2>... (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -c --css Additional css resources <resource1>;<resource2>;... (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -j --js Additional javascript resources <jsfile1>;<jsfile2>;... (if not given will be taken from project.clj)
• -m --multi Generate each namespace documentation as a separate file
• -e --exclude Exclude source file(s) from the document generation process <file1>;<file2>;... (if not given will be taken from project.clj)

The zi plugin supports Marginalia.

I would like to thank Zachary Kim for taking a pile of incoherent code and making it something worth using. Marginalia would be nothing without his hard work and vision.

I would also like to thank Justin Balthrop and Brenton Ashworth for their support and code contributions.

[1] While the phrase ultra-lightweight literate programming is used to describe Marginalia, it is in no way a tool for classical literate programming. That is, Marginalia is a linear documentation generator allowing no out-of-order reassembly of source.
