--- *mini.doc* Generate Neovim help files
--- *MiniDoc*
---
--- MIT License Copyright (c) 2022 Evgeni Chasnovski
---
--- ==============================================================================
---
--- Key design ideas:
--- - Keep documentation next to code by writing EmmyLua-like annotation
--- comments. They will be parsed as is, so formatting should follow built-in
--- guide in |help-writing|. However, custom hooks are allowed at many
--- generation stages for more granular management of output help file.
---
--- - Generation is done by processing a set of ordered files line by line.
--- Each line can either be considered as a part of documentation block (if
--- it matches certain configurable pattern) or not (considered to be an
--- "afterline" of documentation block). See |MiniDoc.generate()| for more
--- details.
---
--- - Processing is done by using nested data structures (section, block, file,
--- doc) describing certain parts of help file. See |MiniDoc-data-structures|
--- for more details.
---
--- - Project specific script can be written as plain Lua file with
--- configuratble path. See |MiniDoc.generate()| for more details.
---
--- What it doesn't do:
--- - It doesn't support markdown or other markup language inside annotations.
--- - It doesn't use treesitter in favor of Lua string manipulation for basic
--- tasks (parsing annotations, formatting, auto-generating tags, etc.). This
--- is done to manage complexity and be dependency free.
---
--- # Setup ~
---
--- This module needs a setup with `require('mini.doc').setup({})` (replace
--- `{}` with your `config` table). It will create global Lua table `MiniDoc`
--- which you can use for scripting or manually (with `:lua MiniDoc.*`).
---
--- See |MiniDoc.config| for available config settings.
---
--- You can override runtime config settings locally to buffer inside
--- `vim.b.minidoc_config` which should have same structure as `MiniDoc.config`.
--- See |mini.nvim-buffer-local-config| for more details.
---
--- To stop module from showing non-error feedback, set `config.silent = true`.
---
--- # Tips ~
---
--- - Some settings tips that might make writing annotation comments easier:
--- - Set up appropriate 'comments' for `lua` file type to respect
--- EmmyLua-like's `---` comment leader. Value `:---,:--` seems to work.
--- - Set up appropriate 'formatoptions' (see also |fo-table|). Consider
--- adding `j`, `n`, `q`, and `r` flags.
--- - Set up appropriate 'formatlistpat' to help auto-formatting lists (if
--- `n` flag is added to 'formatoptions'). One suggestion (not entirely
--- ideal) is a value `^\s*[0-9\-\+\*]\+[\.\)]*\s\+`. This reads as 'at
--- least one special character (digit, `-`, `+`, `*`) possibly followed
--- by some punctuation (`.` or `)`) followed by at least one space is a
--- start of list item'.
--- - Probably one of the most reliable resources for what is considered to be
--- best practice when using this module is this whole plugin. Look at source
--- code for the reference.
---
--- # Comparisons ~
---
--- - 'tjdevries/tree-sitter-lua':
--- - Its key design is to use treesitter grammar to parse both Lua code
--- and annotation comments. This makes it not easy to install,
--- customize, and support.
--- - It takes more care about automating output formatting (like auto
--- indentation and line width fit). This plugin leans more to manual
--- formatting with option to supply customized post-processing hooks.
--- Data structures
---
--- Data structures are basically arrays of other structures accompanied with
--- some fields (keys with data values) and methods (keys with function
--- values):
--- - `Section structure` is an array of string lines describing one aspect
--- (determined by section id like '@param', '@return', '@text') of an
--- annotation subject. All lines will be used directly in help file.
--- - `Block structure` is an array of sections describing one annotation
--- subject like function, table, concept.
--- - `File structure` is an array of blocks describing certain file on disk.
--- Basically, file is split into consecutive blocks: annotation lines go
--- inside block, non-annotation - inside `block_afterlines` element of info.
--- - `Doc structure` is an array of files describing a final help file. Each
--- string line from section (when traversed in depth-first fashion) goes
--- directly into output file.
---
--- All structures have these keys:
--- - Fields:
--- - `info` - contains additional information about current structure.
--- For more details see next section.
--- - `parent` - table of parent structure (if exists).
--- - `parent_index` - index of this structure in its parent's array. Useful
--- for adding to parent another structure near current one.
--- - `type` - string with structure type (section, block, file, doc).
--- - Methods (use them as `x:method(args)`):
--- - `insert(self, [index,] child)` - insert `child` to `self` at position
--- `index` (optional; if not supplied, child will be appended to end).
--- Basically, a `table.insert()`, but adds `parent` and `parent_index`
--- fields to `child` while properly updating `self`.
--- - `remove(self [,index])` - remove from `self` element at position
--- `index`. Basically, a `table.remove()`, but properly updates `self`.
--- - `has_descendant(self, predicate)` - whether there is a descendant
--- (structure or string) for which `predicate` returns `true`. In case of
--- success also returns the first such descendant as second value.
--- - `has_lines(self)` - whether structure has any lines (even empty ones)
--- to be put in output file. For section structures this is equivalent to
--- `#self`, but more useful for higher order structures.
--- - `clear_lines(self)` - remove all lines from structure. As a result,
--- this structure won't contribute to output help file.
---
--- Description of `info` fields per structure type:
--- - `Section`:
--- - `id` - captured section identifier. Can be empty string meaning no
--- identifier is captured.
--- - `line_begin` - line number inside file at which section begins (-1 if
--- not generated from file).
--- - `line_end` - line number inside file at which section ends (-1 if not
--- generated from file).
--- - `Block`:
--- - `afterlines` - array of strings which were parsed from file after
--- this annotation block (up until the next block or end of file).
--- Useful for making automated decisions about what is being documented.
--- - `line_begin` - line number inside file at which block begins (-1 if
--- not generated from file).
--- - `line_end` - line number inside file at which block ends (-1 if not
--- generated from file).
--- - `File`:
--- - `path` - absolute path to a file (`''` if not generated from file).
--- - `Doc`:
--- - `input` - array of input file paths (as in |MiniDoc.generate|).
--- - `output` - output path (as in |MiniDoc.generate|).
--- - `config` - configuration used (as in |MiniDoc.generate|).

-- Module data ================================================================
--- Table with information about current state of auto-generation
---
--- It is reset at the beginning and end of `MiniDoc.generate()`.
---
--- At least these keys are supported:
--- - {aliases} - table with keys being alias name and values - alias
--- description and single string (using `\n` to separate lines).
--- - {eval_section} - input section of `@eval` section hook. Can be used for
--- information about current block, etc.
--- - {toc} - array with table of contents entries. Each entry is a whole
--- `@toc_entry` section.
MiniDoc.current = { aliases = {}, toc = {} }
--- Default hooks
---
--- This is default value of `MiniDoc.config.hooks`. Use it if only a little
--- tweak is needed.
---
--- Some more insight about their behavior:
--- - Default inference of documented object metadata (tag and object signature
--- at the moment) is done in `block_pre`. Inference is based on string
--- pattern matching, so can lead to false results, although works in most
--- cases. It intentionally works only if first line after block has no
--- indentation and contains all necessary information to determine if
--- inference should happen.
--- - Hooks for sections describing some "variable-like" object ('@class',
--- '@field', '@param') automatically enclose first word in '{}'.
--- - Hooks for sections which supposed to have "type-like" data ('@field',
--- '@param', '@return', '@type') automatically enclose *first found*
--- "type-like" word and its neighbor characters in '`(<type>)`' (expect
--- false positives). Algorithm is far from being 100% correct, but seems to
--- work with present allowed type annotation. For allowed types see
--- https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/wiki/EmmyLua-Annotations#types-and-type
--- or, better yet, look in source code of this module.
--- - Automated creation of table of contents (TOC) is done in the following way:
--- - Put section with `@toc_entry` id in the annotation block. Section's
--- lines will be registered as TOC entry.
--- - Put `@toc` section where you want to insert rendered table of
--- contents. TOC entries will be inserted on the left, references for
--- their respective tag section (only first, if present) on the right.
--- Render is done in default `doc` hook (because it should be done after
--- processing all files).
--- - The `write_post` hook executes some actions convenient for iterative
--- annotations writing:
--- - Generate `:helptags` for directory containing output file.
--- - Silently reload buffer containing output file (if such exists).
--- - Display notification message about result.
MiniDoc.default_hooks = MiniDoc.config.hooks
-- Module functionality =======================================================
--- Generate help file
---
--- # Algorithm ~
---
--- - Main parameters for help generation are an array of input file paths and
--- path to output help file.
--- - Parse all inputs:
--- - For each file, lines are processed top to bottom in order to create an
--- array of documentation blocks. Each line is tested whether it is an
--- annotation by applying `MiniDoc.config.annotation_extractor`: if
--- anything is extracted, it is considered to be an annotation. Annotation
--- line goes to "current block" after removing extracted annotation
--- indicator, otherwise - to afterlines of "current block".
--- - Each block's annotation lines are processed top to bottom. If line had
--- captured section id, it is a first line of "current section" (first
--- block lines are allowed to not specify section id; by default it is
--- `@text`). All subsequent lines without captured section id go into
--- "current section".
--- - Apply structure hooks (they should modify its input in place, which is
--- possible due to 'table nature' of all inputs):
--- - Each block is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.block_pre`. This is a
--- designated step for auto-generation of sections from described
--- annotation subject (like sections with id `@tag`, `@type`).
--- - Each section is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.section_pre`.
--- - Each section is processed by corresponding
--- `MiniDoc.config.hooks.sections` function (table key equals to section
--- id). This is a step where most of formatting should happen (like
--- wrap first word of `@param` section with `{` and `}`, append empty
--- line to section, etc.).
--- - Each section is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.section_post`.
--- - Each block is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.block_post`. This is
--- a step for processing block after formatting is done (like add first
--- line with `----` delimiter).
--- - Each file is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.file`. This is a step
--- for adding any file-related data (like add first line with `====`
--- delimiter).
--- - Doc is processed by `MiniDoc.config.hooks.doc`. This is a step for
--- adding any helpfile-related data (maybe like table of contents).
--- - Collect all strings from sections in depth-first fashion (equivalent to
--- nested "for all files -> for all blocks -> for all sections -> for all
--- strings -> add string to output"). Strings can have `\n` character
--- indicating start of new line.
--- - Modify collected strings with `MiniDoc.config.write_pre`. Takes strings
--- from previous step as input and should return array of strings.
--- - Write modified strings to output file.
--- - Execute `MiniDoc.config.write_post` hook. This is useful for showing some
--- feedback and making actions involving newly updated help file (like
--- generate tags, etc.).
---
--- # Project specific script ~
---
--- If all arguments have default `nil` values, first there is an attempt to
--- source project specific script. This is basically a `luafile
--- <MiniDoc.config.script_path>` with current Lua runtime while caching and
--- restoring current `MiniDoc.config`. Its successful execution stops any
--- further generation actions while error means proceeding generation as if no
--- script was found.
---
--- Typical script content might include definition of custom hooks, input and
--- output files with eventual call to `require('mini.doc').generate()` (with
--- or without arguments).
---
---@param input table|nil Array of file paths which will be processed in supplied
--- order. Default: all '.lua' files from current directory following by all
--- such files in these subdirectories: 'lua/', 'after/', 'colors/'. Note:
--- any 'init.lua' file is placed before other files from the same directory.
---@param output string|nil Path for output help file. Default:
--- `doc/<current_directory>.txt` (designed to be used for generating help
--- file for plugin).
---@param config table|nil Configuration overriding parts of |MiniDoc.config|.
---
---@return table Document structure which was generated and used for output
--- help file. In case `MiniDoc.config.script_path` was successfully used,
--- this is a return from the latest call of this function.

--- Convert afterlines to code
---
--- This function is designed to be used together with `@eval` section to
--- automate documentation of certain values (notably default values of a
--- table). It processes afterlines based on certain directives and makes
--- output look like a Lua code block.
---
--- Most common usage is by adding the following section in your annotation: >
---
--- ---@eval return MiniDoc.afterlines_to_code(MiniDoc.current.eval_section)
--- <
--- # Directives ~
---
--- Directives are special comments that are processed using Lua string pattern
--- capabilities (so beware of false positives). Each directive should be put
--- on its separate line. Supported directives:
--- - `--minidoc_afterlines_end` denotes a line at afterlines end. Only all
--- lines before it will be considered as afterlines. Useful if there is
--- extra code in afterlines which shouldn't be used.
--- - `--minidoc_replace_start <replacement>` and `--minidoc_replace_end`
--- denote lines between them which should be replaced with `<replacement>`.
--- Useful for manually changing what should be placed in output like in case
--- of replacing function body with something else.
---
--- Here is an example. Suppose having these afterlines: >lua
---
--- --minidoc_replace_start {
--- M.config = {
--- --minidoc_replace_end
--- param_one = 1,
--- --minidoc_replace_start param_fun = --<function>
--- param_fun = function(x)
--- return x + 1
--- end
--- --minidoc_replace_end
--- }
--- --minidoc_afterlines_end
---
--- return M
--- <
--- After adding `@eval` section those will be formatted as: >
---
--- {
--- param_one = 1,
--- param_fun = --<function>
--- }
--- <
---@param struct table Block or section structure which after lines will be
--- converted to code.
---
---@return string|nil Single string (using `\n` to separate lines) describing
--- afterlines as Lua code block in help file. If `nil`, input is not valid.
