The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple data format used to
create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another.
HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are
appropriate for representing information from a wide range of domains.
The THtml class is designed to provide an easy way for converting ROOT
classes, and files as well, into HTML documents. Here is the few rules and
suggestions for a configuration, coding and usage.
Configuration:
-------------
(i) Input files
Define Root.Html.SourceDir to point to directories containing .cxx and
.h files ( see: TEnv ) of the classes you want to document. Better yet,
specify separate Unix.*.Root.Html.SourceDir and WinNT.*.Root.Html.SourceDir.
Root.Html.SourcePrefix can hold an additional (relative) path to help THtml
find the source files. Its default value is "". Root's class documentation
files can be linked in if Root.Html.Root is set to Root's class
documentation root. It defaults to "".
Examples:
Unix.*.Root.Html.SourceDir: .:src:include
WinNT.*.Root.Html.SourceDir: .;src;include
Root.Html.SourcePrefix:
Root.Html.Root: http://root.cern.ch/root/html
(ii) Output directory
The output directory can be specified using the Root.Html.OutputDir
environment variable ( default value: "htmldoc" ). If it doesn't exist, it
will be created.
Examples (with defaults given):
Root.Html.OutputDir: htmldoc
(iii) Class documentation
The class documentation has to appear in the header file containing the
class, right in front of its declaration. It is introduced by a string
defined by Root.Html.Description. See below, section "Coding", for
further details.
Examples (with defaults given):
Root.Html.Description: //____________________
(iv) Source file information
During the conversion, THtml will look for the certain number of user
defined strings ("tags") in the source file, which have to appear right in
front of e.g. the author's name, copyright notice, etc. These tags can be
defined with the following environment variables: Root.Html.Author,
Root.Html.LastUpdate and Root.Html.Copyright.
If the LastUpdate tag is not found, the current date and time are given.
This makes sense if one uses THtml's default option force=kFALSE, in which
case THtml generates documentation only for changed classes.
Authors can be a comma separated list of author entries. Each entry has
one of the following two formats:
* "Name (non-alpha)". THtml will generate an HTML link for Name, taking
the Root.Html.XWho environment variable (defaults to
"http://consult.cern.ch/xwho/people?") and adding all parts of the name
with spaces replaces by '+'. Non-Alphas are printed out behind Name.
Example: "// Author: Enrico Fermi" appears in the source file. THtml
will generate the link
"http://consult.cern.ch/xwho/people?Enrico+Fermi". This works well for
people at CERN.
* "Name <link> Info" THtml will generate a HTML link for Name as specified
by "link" and print Info behind Name.
Example: "// Author: Enrico Fermi <http://www.enricos-home.it>" or
"// Author: Enrico Fermi <mailto:enrico@fnal.gov>" in the
source file. That's world compatible.
Examples (with defaults given):
Root.Html.Author: // Author:
Root.Html.LastUpdate: // @(#)
Root.Html.Copyright: * Copyright
Root.Html.XWho: http://consult.cern.ch/xwho/people?
(v) Style
THtml generates a default header and footer for all pages. You can
specify your own versions with the environment variables Root.Html.Header
and Root.Html.Footer. Both variables default to "", using the standard Root
versions. If set the parameter to your file and append a "+", THtml will
write both versions (user and root) to a file, for the header in the order
1st root, 2nd user, and for the footer 1st user, 2nd root (the root
versions containing "<html>" and </html> tags, resp).
If you want to replace root's header you have to write a file containing
all HTML elements necessary starting with the <DOCTYPE> tag and ending with
(and including) the <BODY> tag. If you add your header it will be added
directly after Root's <BODY> tag. Any occurence of the string "%TITLE%"
(without the quotation marks) in the user's header file will be replaced by
a sensible, automatically generated title.
Root's footer starts with the tag "<!--SIGNATURE-->". It includes the
author(s), last update, copyright, the links to the Root home page, to the
user home page, to the index file (ClassIndex.html), to the top of the page
and "this page is automatically generated" infomation. It ends with the
tags "</body></html>. If you want to replace it, THtml will search for some
tags in your footer: Occurences of the strings "%AUTHOR%", "%UPDATE%", and
"%COPYRIGHT%" (without the quotation marks) are replaced by their
corresponding values before writing the html file. The %AUTHOR% tag will be
replaced by the exact string that follows Root.Html.Author, no link
generation will occur.
(vi) Miscellaneous
Additional parameters can be set by Root.Html.Homepage (address of the
user's home page) and Root.Html.SearchEngine (search engine for the class
documentation). Both default to "".
Examples:
Root.Html.Homepage: http://www.enricos-home.it
Root.Html.SearchEngine: http://root.cern.ch/root/Search.phtml
Coding rules:
------------
A class description block, which must be placed before the first
member function, has a following form:
//
// TMyClass
//
// This is the description block.
//
The environment variable Root.Html.Description ( see: TEnv ) contents
the delimiter string ( default value: //_________________ ). It means
that you can also write your class description block like this:
//_____________________________________________________________
// A description of the class starts with the line above, and
// will take place here !
Note that EVERYTHING until the first non-commented line is considered
as a valid class description block.
A member function description block starts immediately after '{'
and looks like this:
void TWorld::HelloWorldFunc(string *text)
{
// This is an example of description for the
// TWorld member function
helloWorld.Print( text );
}
Like in a class description block, EVERYTHING until the first
non-commented line is considered as a valid member function
description block.
==> The "Begin_Html" and "End_Html" special keywords <=========
--------------------------------------------
You can insert pure html code in your comment lines. During the
generation of the documentation, this code will be inserted as is
in the html file.
Pure html code must be inserted between the keywords "Begin_Html"
and "End_Html" starting/finishing anywhere in the comment lines.
Examples of pure html code are given in many Root classes.
See for example the classes TDataMember and TMinuit.
==> The escape character
--------------------
Outside blocks starting with "Begin_Html" and finishing with "End_Html"
one can prevent the automatic translation of symbols like "<" and ">"
to "<" and ">" by using the escape character in front.
The default escape character is backslash and can be changed
via the member function SetEscape.
==> The ClassIndex
--------------
All classes to be documented will have an entry in the ClassIndex.html,
showing their name with a link to their documentation page and a miniature
description. This discription for e.g. the class MyClass has to be given
in MyClass's header as a comment right after ClassDef( MyClass, n ).
Usage:
-----
Root> THtml html; // create a THtml object
Root> html.MakeAll() // invoke a make for all classes
Root> html.MakeClass("TMyClass") // create a HTML files for that class only
Root> html.MakeIndex() // creates an index files only
Root> html.MakeTree("TMyClass") // creates an inheritance tree for a class
Root> html.Convert( hist1.mac, "Histogram example" )
Environment variables:
---------------------
Root.Html.OutputDir ( default: htmldoc)
Root.Html.SourceDir ( default: .:src/:include/)
Root.Html.Author ( default: // Author:) - start tag for authors
Root.Html.LastUpdate ( default: // @(#)) - start tag for last update

Write HTML header
Input: out - output file stream
title - title for the HTML page
evaluates the Root.Html.Header setting:
