Marginalia 0.6.0
==========
*ultra-lightweight literate programming[1] for clojure inspired by [docco](http://jashkenas.github.com/docco/)*
Marginalia is a source documentation too that parses Clojure code and outputs an side-by-side source view with appropriate comments and docstrings aligned.
To get a quick look at what marginalia output looks like, then [visit the official site](http://fogus.me/fun/marginalia/).
Usage
-----
Currently Marginalia can be used in a number of ways as described below.
### Command Line
You can download the [Marginalia 0.6.0 jar including packaged dependencies from Github](https://github.com/downloads/fogus/marginalia/marginalia-0.6.0-standalone.jar).
Running Marginalia given the jar file linked above is as easy as:
java -jar marginalia-0.6.0-standalone.jar
This will search the `PWD` for a `src` directory which it will then traverse looking for Clojure source files to parse and generate documentation for. Marginalia also takes specific locations and files to generate docs for:
java -jar marginalia-0.6.0-standalone.jar <file1> <file2> ... <filen>
Arguments can be specific files or directories.
### Leiningen
[http://github.com/fogus/lein-marginalia](http://github.com/fogus/lein-marginalia)
To use Marginalia in your own projects simply add the following to your `project.clj` file in the `:dev-dependencies` section:
[lein-marginalia "0.6.0"]
After executing `lein deps` you can generate your complete source documentation with the following command:
lein marg
Marginalia accepts other options as outlined in the *Command Line*
section above.
### Cake
[http://github.com/fogus/cake-marginalia](http://github.com/fogus/cake-marginalia)
Add the following to your project's `:dev-dependencies`:
[cake-marginalia "0.6.0"]
Also, you need to add it to your task list:
:tasks [cake-marginalia.tasks]
Here's a sample `project.clj`:
(defproject my-project "0.1.0
:description "Cake plugin for Marginalia."
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.2.1"]
[org.clojure/clojure-contrib "1.2.0"]]
:dev-dependencies [[marginalia "0.6.0"]
[cake-marginalia "0.6.0"]]
:tasks [cake-marginalia.tasks])
After that, you should be able to use it like any other cake task:
cake marg
### Maven

Contributors and thanks
-----------------------
I would like to thank Zachary Kim for taking a pile of incoherant 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.
TODO

* paragraph anchors
* options for non-uber-docs

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.
