=head1 Converting Wiki Record Reference to POD
If you open the src/std/rec/aiRecord.dbd.pod file in your favourite plain text
editor you'll see what input was required to generate the aiRecord.html file.
The text markup language we're using is a standard called POD (Plain Old
Documentation) which is used by Perl developers, but you don't need to know Perl
at all to be able to use it.
When we add POD markup to a record type, we rename its *Record.dbd file to
.dbd.pod in the src/std/rec directory; no other changes are needed for the build
system to find it by its new name. The POD content is effectively just a new
kind of comment that appears in .dbd.pod files, which the formatter knows how to
convert into Markdown. The build also generates a plain *Record.dbd file from this
same input file by stripping out all of the POD markup.
Documentation for Perl's POD markup standard can be found online at
L<https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html> or you may be able to type 'perldoc
perlpod' into a Linux command-line to see the same text. We added a few POD
keywords of our own to handle the table generation, and I'll cover those briefly
below.
POD text can appear almost anywhere in a dbd.pod file. It always starts with a
line "=[keyword] [additional text...]" where [keyword] is "title", "head1"
through "head4" etc.. The POD text ends with a line "=cut". There must be a
blank line above every POD line, and in many cases below it as well.
The POD keywords we have added are "title", "recordtype", "menu", "fields",
"type", "read" and "write". The last 3 are less common but are used in some of
the other record types such as the waveform and aSub records.
The most interesting of our new keywords is "fields", which takes a list of
record field names on the same line after the keyword and generates an Markdown
Table describing those fields based on the field description found in the DBD
parts. In the ai documentation the first such table covers the DTYP and INP
fields.
Note that the "=fields" line must appear inside the DBD's declaration of the
record type, i.e. after the line
recordtype(ai) {
The "type", "read" and "write" POD keywords are used inside an individual record
field declaration and provide information for the "Type", "Read" and "Write"
columns of the field's table output for fields where this information is
normally supplied by the record support code. Usage examples for these keywords
can be found in the aai and aSub record types.
If you look at the L<aoRecord.dbd.pod> file you'll see that the POD there starts
by documenting a record-specific menu definition. The "menu" keyword generates a
table that lists all the choices found in the named menu. Any MENU fields in the
field tables that refer to a locally-defined menu will generate a link to a
document section which must be titled "Menu [menuName]".
