An example of an LAML tool: SchemeDoc

We illustrate the ideal of an LAML with the SchemeDoc tool. This tool is inspired from JavaDoc and similar tools.

Problem: Extract selected comments from a Scheme program source file in order to produce external documentation of a programmatic interface

Solution: An LAML-based tool which interfaces to the Manual document style

 

This figure illustrates the process implemented by the SchemeDoc tool. The main idea is to translate the lexical Lisp comments to syntactic elements. Given this, it is easy to parse the translated program and to extract the relevant comments
