Docbunto automatic documentation generator for Scribunto modules. The module is based on LuaDoc and LDoc. It produces documentation in the form of MediaWiki markup, using @tag-prefixed comments embedded in the source code of a Scribunto module. The taglet parser & doclet renderer Docbunto uses are also publicly exposed to other modules.

Docbunto code items are introduced by a block comment (--[[]]--), an inline comment with three hyphens (---), or an inline @tag comment. The module can use static code analysis to infer variable names, item privacy (local keyword), tables ({} constructor) and functions (function keyword). MediaWiki and Markdown formatting is supported.

Items are usually rendered in the order they are defined, if they are public items, or emulated classes extending the Lua primitives. There are many customisation options available to change Docbunto behaviour.

Docbunto taglet parser for Scribunto modules.

Parameters:

modname Module page name (without namespace). (string; optional)

options Configuration options. (table; optional)

Errors:

'Lua source code not found in $1' (string; line 906)

'documentation markup for Docbunto not found in $1' (string; line 912)
