Here's how the node docs work. Each type of heading has a description block. ## module Stability: 3 - Stable description and examples. ### module.property * Type description of the property. ### module.someFunction(x, y, [z=100]) * `x` {String} the description of the string * `y` {Boolean} Should I stay or should I go? * `z` {Number} How many zebras to bring. A description of the function. ### Event: 'blerg' * Argument: SomeClass object. Modules don't usually raise events on themselves. `cluster` is the only exception. ## Class: SomeClass description of the class. ### Class Method: SomeClass.classMethod(anArg) * `anArg` {Object} Just an argument * `field` {String} anArg can have this field. * `field2` {Boolean} Another field. Default: `false`. * Return: {Boolean} `true` if it worked. Description of the method for humans. ### someClass.nextSibling() * Return: {SomeClass object | null} The next someClass in line. ### someClass.someProperty * String The indication of what someProperty is. ### Event: 'grelb' * `isBlerg` {Boolean} This event is emitted on instances of SomeClass, not on the module itself. * Modules have (description, Properties, Functions, Classes, Examples) * Properties have (type, description) * Functions have (list of arguments, description) * Classes have (description, Properties, Methods, Events) * Events have (list of arguments, description) * Methods have (list of arguments, description) * Properties have (type, description) # CLI usage Run the following from the etherpad-lite root directory: ```sh $ node tools/doc/generate doc/all.md --format=html --template=doc/template.html > out.htm ```
