Marginalia 0.7.1
================

![marginalia](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7057/6828224448_32b51e5784_z_d.jpg "Marginalia")

*Ultra-lightweight literate programming[1] for [Clojure](http://clojure.org) and ClojureScript inspired by [docco](http://jashkenas.github.com/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](http://fogus.me/fun/marginalia/).

Usage
-----

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

### Leiningen

[http://github.com/fogus/lein-marginalia](http://github.com/fogus/lein-marginalia)

To use Marginalia with Leiningen add the following code to the project's `project.clj` file, in the `:dev-dependencies` argument of the `defproject` function:

    :dev-dependencies [[lein-marginalia "0.7.1"]]

After executing `lein deps` 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

### Maven

The [zi plugin](https://github.com/pallet/zi) supports Marginalia.

Add this code to the project's `pom.xml` file, and run the command `mvn zi:marginalia`.

```xml
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.cloudhoist.plugin</groupId>
      <artifactId>zi</artifactId>
      <version>0.5.0</version>
      <configuration>
        <marginaliaTargetDirectory>autodoc/marginalia</marginaliaTargetDirectory>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
```

And the following to the project's `settings.xml` file.

```xml
    <pluginGroups>
      <pluginGroup>org.cloudhoist.plugin</pluginGroup>
    </pluginGroups>

    <profiles>
      <profile>
        <id>clojure-dev</id>
        <pluginRepositories>
          <pluginRepository>
            <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
            <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases</url>
          </pluginRepository>
        </pluginRepositories>
      </profile>
    </profiles>

    <activeProfiles>
      <activeProfile>clojure-dev</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>
```

Contributors and thanks
-----------------------

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.

Notes
-----

[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.
