html2text’s PlainDecorator that is used to produce plain text prints all
link targets at the end of a block. While this is generally useful,
listing all local links makes the output hard to read. JavaScript and
Rust plaground links are generally not very useful in this context.
Therefore we implement a custom TextDecorator that only lists external
links (http or https) and ignores links to the Rust playground.
This patch adds a new --viewer command line option that lets the user
select a viewer that displays the documentation. It also adds a default
viewer implementation that uses html2text to generate plain text from
the HTML documentation.
html2text requires the ptr_cast feature and we use the Option::as_deref
method in the viewer implementation, so we have to update the minimum
supported Rust version to 1.40.
This patch adds typical Rust documentation locations to the sources:
- /usr/share/doc/rust{,-doc}/html for the standard library documentation
- ./target/doc for the documentation generated for the current crate
It also adds the --no-default-sources option that disables this
behavior.
This patch adds the parser module that uses kuchiki and html5ever to
parse the HTML documentation.
As kuchiki requires std::mem::MaybeUninit, we have to bump the minimum
supported Rust version to 1.36.
This patch adds the doc and source module with the basic data structures
for the documentation items:
- A Source loads the documentation items from e. g. the file system.
- The documentation items (modules, traits, etc.) are grouped by crates.
It also adds a simple Source implementation, DirSource, that reads the
data from a local directory.
