Inspection Module

This XQuery Module contains functions for generating xqDoc files from XQuery modules.

Introduction

xqDoc provides a simple vendor neutral solution for generating a documentation from XQuery modules. The documentation conventions have been inspired by the JavaDoc standard. Documentation comments begin with (:~ and end with :), and tags start with @. xqDoc comments can be specified for main and library modules, variable declarations and function declarations, as shown in the following example:

(:~ 
 : This module provides some sample functions.
 :
 : @author John Clash
 : @version 1.0
 :)
module namespace samples = 'http://basex.org/modules/samples';

(:~ This is a sample number. :)
declare variable $samples:number := 1;

(:~
 : This function simply returns the specified number.
 : @param $number number to return
 : @return specified number
 :)
declare function samples:same($number as xs:integer) as xs:integer {
  $number
};

Conventions

All functions in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/xqdoc namespace, which is statically bound to the xqdoc prefix.
All errors are assigned to the http://basex.org/errors namespace, which is statically bound to the bxerr prefix.
