-Javascript docstrings
-=====================
-
-Whereas in Python source code we only need to include a module docstrings
-using the directive `.. automodule:: mypythonmodule`, we will have to
-explicitely define Javascript modules and functions in the doctrings since
-there is no native directive to include Javascript files.
-
-Rest generation
----------------
-
-`pyjsrest` is a small utility parsing Javascript doctrings and generating the
-corresponding Restructured file used by Sphinx to generate HTML documentation.
-This script will have the following structure::
-
- ===========
- filename.js
- ===========
- .. module:: filename.js
-
-We use the `.. module::` directive to register a javascript library
-as a Python module for Sphinx. This provides an entry in the module index.
-
-The contents of the docstring found in the javascript file will be added as is
-following the module declaration. No treatment will be done on the doctring.
-All the documentation structure will be in the docstrings and will comply
-with the following rules.
-
-Docstring structure
--------------------
-
-Basically we document javascript with RestructuredText docstring
-following the same convention as documenting Python code.
-
-The doctring in Javascript files must be contained in standard
-Javascript comment signs, starting with `/**` and ending with `*/`,
-such as::
-
- /**
- * My comment starts here.
- * This is the second line prefixed with a `*`.
- * ...
- * ...
- * All the follwing line will be prefixed with a `*` followed by a space.
- * ...
- * ...
- */
-
-
-Comments line prefixed by `//` will be ignored. They are reserved for source
-code comments dedicated to developers.
-
-
-Javscript functions docstring
------------------------------
-
-By default, the `function` directive describes a module-level function.
-
-`function` directive
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Its purpose is to define the function prototype such as::
-
- .. function:: loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode)
-
-If any namespace is used, we should add it in the prototype for now,
-until we define an appropriate directive::
-
- .. function:: jQuery.fn.loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode)
-
-Function parameters
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-We will define function parameters as a bulleted list, where the
-parameter name will be backquoted and followed by its description.
-
-Example of a javascript function docstring::
-
- .. function:: loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode)
-
- cubicweb loadxhtml plugin to make jquery handle xhtml response
-
- fetches `url` and replaces this's content with the result
-
- Its arguments are:
-
- * `url`
-
- * `mode`, how the replacement should be done (default is 'replace')
- Possible values are :
- - 'replace' to replace the node's content with the generated HTML
- - 'swap' to replace the node itself with the generated HTML
- - 'append' to append the generated HTML to the node's content
-
-
-Optional parameter specification
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Javascript functions handle arguments not listed in the function signature.
-In the javascript code, they will be flagged using `/* ... */`. In the docstring,
-we flag those optional arguments the same way we would define it in
-Python::
-
- .. function:: asyncRemoteExec(fname, arg1=None, arg2=None)
-
