# **Pycco** is a Python port of [Docco](http://jashkenas.github.com/docco/ ):
# the original quick-and-dirty, hundred-line-long, literate-programming-style
# documentation generator. It produces HTML that displays your comments
# alongside your code. Comments are passed through
# [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax), and code is
# passed through [Pygments](http://pygments.org/) syntax highlighting.  This
# page is the result of running Pycco against its own source file.
#
# If you install Pycco, you can run it from the command-line:
#
#     pycco src/*.py
#
# ...will generate linked HTML documentation for the named source files, saving
# it into a `docs` folder by default.
#
# To install Pycco, simply
#
#     sudo setup.py install
#

#### Main Documentation Generation Functions

# Generate the documentation for a source file by reading it in, splitting it
# up into comment/code sections, highlighting them for the appropriate language,
# and merging them into an HTML template.
def generate_documentation(source, options):
    fh = open(source, "r")
    sections = parse(source, fh.read())
    highlight(source, sections, options)
    generate_html(source, sections, options=options)

# Given a string of source code, parse out each comment and the code that
# follows it, and create an individual **section** for it.
# Sections take the form:
#
#     { "docs_text": ...,
#       "docs_html": ...,
#       "code_text": ...,
#       "code_html": ...,
#       "num":       ...
#     }
