* Links to definitions are done with `@List`. `\@` (and `\:]`) if you want to escape.
|
||||
* `@[signature] List.take` expands to the type signature of `List.take`
|
||||
* `@[source] List.map` expands to the full source of `List.map`
|
||||
* `@[include] someOtherDoc`, inserts a value `someOtherDoc : Doc` here.
|
||||
* `@[evaluate] someDefinition` expands to the result of evaluating `someDefinition`, which must be a pre-existing definition in the codebase (can't be an arbitrary expression).
|
||||
|
||||
### An example
|
||||
|
||||
We are going to document `List.take` using some verbiage and a few examples. First we have to add the examples to the codebase:
|
||||
|
||||
```unison
|
||||
List.take.ex1 = take 0 [1,2,3,4,5]
|
||||
List.take.ex2 = take 2 [1,2,3,4,5]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
|
||||
Loading changes detected in scratch.u.
|
||||
|
||||
I found and typechecked these definitions in scratch.u. If you
|
||||
do an `add` or `update`, here's how your codebase would
|
||||
change:
|
||||
|
||||
⍟ These new definitions are ok to `add`:
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.ex1 : [Nat]
|
||||
List.take.ex2 : [Nat]
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
scratch/main> add
|
||||
|
||||
⍟ I've added these definitions:
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.ex1 : [Nat]
|
||||
List.take.ex2 : [Nat]
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
And now let's write our docs and reference these examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```unison
|
||||
List.take.doc = [:
|
||||
`@List.take n xs` returns the first `n` elements of `xs`. (No need to add line breaks manually. The display command will do wrapping of text for you. Indent any lines where you don't want it to do this.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
@[source] List.take.ex1
|
||||
🔽
|
||||
@List.take.ex1 = @[evaluate] List.take.ex1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@[source] List.take.ex2
|
||||
🔽
|
||||
@List.take.ex2 = @[evaluate] List.take.ex2
|
||||
:]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
|
||||
Loading changes detected in scratch.u.
|
||||
|
||||
I found and typechecked these definitions in scratch.u. If you
|
||||
do an `add` or `update`, here's how your codebase would
|
||||
change:
|
||||
|
||||
⍟ These new definitions are ok to `add`:
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.doc : Doc
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Let's add it to the codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
scratch/main> add
|
||||
|
||||
⍟ I've added these definitions:
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.doc : Doc
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
We can view it with `docs`, which shows the `Doc` value that is associated with a definition.
|
||||
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
scratch/main> docs List.take
|
||||
|
||||
`List.take n xs` returns the first `n` elements of `xs`. (No
|
||||
need to add line breaks manually. The display command will do
|
||||
wrapping of text for you. Indent any lines where you don't
|
||||
want it to do this.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.ex1 : [Nat]
|
||||
List.take.ex1 = List.take 0 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
|
||||
🔽
|
||||
ex1 = []
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
List.take.ex2 : [Nat]
|
||||
List.take.ex2 = List.take 2 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
|
||||
🔽
|
||||
ex2 = [1, 2]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note that if we view the source of the documentation, the various references are *not* expanded.
|
||||
|
||||
```ucm
|
||||
scratch/main> view List.take
|
||||
|
||||
builtin lib.builtins.List.take :
|
||||
lib.builtins.Nat -> [a] -> [a]
