* Modules API docs: Link API function names to their definitions
Occurrences of API functions are linked to their definition.
A function index with links to all functions is added on the bottom
of the page.
Comment blocks in module.c starting with a markdown h2 heading are
used as sections. A table of contents is generated from these
headings.
The functions names are changed from h2 to h3, since they are now
rendered as sub-headings within each section.
Existing sections in module.c are used with some minor changes.
Some documentation text is added or sligtly modified.
The markdown renderer will add IDs which may clash with our
generated IDs. By prefixing section IDs with "section-" we make
them different.
Replace double dashes with a unicode long ndash
Fix broken formatting in `RM_Call` and `RM_CreateDataType`,
`RM_SubscribeToServerEvent` (nested lists, etc. in list items).
Unhide docs of `RM_LoadDataTypeFromString` and
`RM_SaveDataTypeToString` by removing blank line between docs and
function.
Clarification added to `RM__Assert`: Recommentation to use the
`RedisModule_Assert` macro instead.
All names containing underscores (variable and macro names) are
wrapped in backticks (if not already wrapped in backticks). This
prevents underscore from being interpreted as italics in some
cases.
Names including a wildcard star, e.g. RM_Defrag*(), is wrapped in
backticks (and RM replaced by RedisModule in this case). This
prevents the * from being interpreted as an italics marker.
A list item with a sublist, a paragraph and another sublist is a
combination which seems impossible to achieve with RedCarped
markdown, so the one occurrence of this is rewritten.
Various trivial changes (typos, backticks, etc.).
Ruby script:
* Replace `RM_Xyz` with `RedisModule_Xyz` in docs. (RM is correct
when refering to the C code but RedisModule is correct in the
API docs.)
* Automatic backquotes around C functions like `malloc()`.
* Turn URLs into links. The link text is the URL itself.
* Don't add backticks inside bold (**...**)
Fixes markdown formatting errors and some functions not showing
up in the generated documentation at all.
Ruby script (gendoc.rb) fixes:
* Modified automatic instertion of backquotes:
* Don't add backquotes around names which are already preceded by a
backquote. Fixes for example \`RedisModule_Reply\*\` which turning
into \`\`RedisModule_Reply\`\*\` messes up the formatting.
* Add backquotes around types such as RedisModuleString (in addition
to function names `RedisModule_[A-z()]*` and macro names
`REDISMODULE_[A-z]*`).
* Require 4 spaces indentation for disabling automatic backquotes, i.e.
code blocks. Fixes continuations of list items (indented 2 spaces).
* More permissive extraction of doc comments:
* Allow doc comments starting with `/**`.
* Make space before `*` on each line optional.
* Make space after `/*` and `/**` optional (needed when appearing on
its own line).
Markdown fixes in module.c:
* Fix code blocks not indented enough (4 spaces needed).
* Add black line before code blocks and lists where missing (needed).
* Enclose special markdown characters `_*^<>` in backticks to prevent them
from messing up formatting.
* Lists with `1)` changed to `1.` for proper markdown lists.
* Remove excessive indentation which causes text to be unintentionally
rendered as code blocks.
* Other minor formatting fixes.
Other fixes in module.c:
* Remove blank lines between doc comment and function definition. A blank
line here makes the Ruby script exclude the function in docs.
