LDoc integration

Open ghost opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

LDoc is a documentation generator for Lua. The Lit server could run it on the sources when a new version of a package is published. The docs could then be made directly available from http://luvit.io/lit.html.

This is a great idea. Is LDoc the clear winner among the lua community? I don't know.

I don't know the statistics, either. But it's a great tool with some enhancements compared to LuaDoc.

Hmm, I don't like how it pulls in penlight and luaFileSystem. We'd need to modify it dependencies to use code in luvit instead.

Penlight is pure Lua, so it should comparatively easy to package with Lit. LFS can probably be replaced with the Luv FS functions.
