- Add section `VIM.LPEG` and `VIM.RE` to docs/lua.txt.
- Add `_meta/re.lua` which adds luadoc and type annotations, for the
vendored `vim.re` package.
- Fix minor style issues on `_meta/lpeg.lua` luadoc for better vimdocs
generation.
- Fix a bug on `gen_vimdoc` where non-helptags in verbatim code blocks
were parsed as helptags, affecting code examples on `vim.lpeg.Cf`,
etc.
- Also move the `vim.regex` section below so that it can be located
closer to `vim.lpeg` and `vim.re`.
Problem: Some lines in the generated vim doc are overflowing, not
correctly wrapped at 78 characters. This happens when docs body contains
several consecutive 'inline' elements generated by doxygen.
Solution: Take into account the current column offset of the last line,
and prepend some padding before doc_wrap().
Since some point INCLUDE_DEPRECATED stopped working as it is usually
turned off when generating an actual vimdoc. This commit fixes this
hidden feature back again (used for devel purposes only).
Problem: main() has too much logic implemented there, too difficult to
read.
Solution: Do more OOP, introduce `Section` dataclass that stores
information about a "section", with documentation and concrete examples
about what each field and variable would mean. Extract all the lines for
rendering a section into `section.render()` pulled out of `main()`.
Problem:
For function definitions to be included in the vimdoc (formatted) and
to be exported as mpack data (unformatted), we had two internal
representations of the same function/API metadata in duplicate;
one is FunctionDoc (which was previously a dict), and the other is
doxygen XML DOM from which vimdoc (functions sections) was generated.
Solution:
We should have a single path and unified data representation
(i.e. FunctionDoc) that contains all the metadata and information about
function APIs, from which both of mpack export and vimdoc are generated.
I.e., vimdocs are no longer generated directly from doxygen XML nodes,
but generated via:
(XML DOM Nodes) ------------> FunctionDoc ------> mpack (unformatted)
Recursive Internal |
Formatting Metadata +---> vimdoc (formatted)
This refactoring eliminates the hacky and ugly use of `fmt_vimhelp` in
`fmt_node_as_vimhelp()` and all other helper functions! This way,
`fmt_node_as_vimhelp()` can simplified as it no longer needs to handle
generating of function docs, which needs to be done only in the topmost
level of recursion.
refactor!: `vim.lsp.inlay_hint()` -> `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`
Problem:
The LSP specification allows inlay hints to include tooltips, clickable
label parts, and code actions; but Neovim provides no API to query for
these.
Solution:
Add minimal viable extension point from which plugins can query for
inlay hints in a range, in order to build functionality on top of.
Possible Next Steps
---
- Add `virt_text_idx` field to `vim.fn.getmousepos()` return value, for
usage in mappings of `<LeftMouse>`, `<C-LeftMouse>`, etc
- eval.lua is now the source of truth.
- Formatting is much more consistent.
- Fixed Lua type generation for polymorphic functions (get(), etc).
- Removed "Overview" section from builtin.txt
- Can generate this if we really want it.
- Moved functions from sign.txt and testing.txt into builtin.txt.
- Removed the *timer* *timers* tags since libuv timers via vim.uv should be preferred.
- Removed the temp-file-name tag from tempname()
- Moved lueval() from lua.txt to builtin.txt.
* Fix indent
* fixup!
* fixup! fixup!
* fixup! better tag formatting
* fixup: revert changes no longer needed
* fixup! CI

Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem: some API functions that check textlock (usually those that can change
curwin or curbuf) can break the cmdwin.
Solution: make FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK call text_locked() instead, which already
checks for textlock, cmdwin and `<expr>` status.
Add FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK_ALLOW_CMDWIN to allow such functions to be usable in the
cmdwin if they can work properly there; the opt-in nature of this attribute
should hopefully help mitigate future bugs.
Also fix a regression in #22634 that made functions checking textlock usable in
`<expr>` mappings, and rename FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK to FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK.
Add automatic refresh and a public interface on top of #23736
* add on_reload, on_detach handlers in `enable()` buf_attach, and
LspDetach autocommand in case of manual detach
* unify `__buffers` and `hint_cache_by_buf`
* use callback bufnr in `on_lines` callback, bufstate: remove __index override
* move user-facing functions into vim.lsp.buf, unify enable/disable/toggle
Closes#18086
Problem:
"playground" is new jargon that overlaps with existing concepts:
"dev" (`:help dev`) and "view" (also "scratch" `:help scratch-buffer`) .
Solution:
We should consistently use "dev" as the namespace for where "developer
tools" live. For purposes of a "throwaway sandbox object", we can use
the name "view".
- Rename `TSPlayground` => `TSView`
- Rename `playground.lua` => `dev.lua`
vim.iter wraps a table or iterator function into an `Iter` object with
methods such as `filter`, `map`, and `fold` which can be chained to
produce iterator pipelines that do not create new tables at each step.
- version.cmp(): assert valid version
- add test for loading vim.version (the other tests use shared.lua in
the test runner)
- reduce test scopes, reword test descriptions
Problem:
gen_vimdoc.py / lua2dox.lua does not support @defgroup or \defgroup
except for "api-foo" modules.
Solution:
Modify `gen_vimdoc.py` to look for section names based on `helptag_fmt`.
TODO:
- Support @module ?
https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations#module
Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22398 broke the job because there
is no `build/bin/nvim`
This keeps the preference for `build/bin/nvim` but adds back `nvim` as
fallback if it doesn't exist.
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
