             Summary: topic/jsiwek/broxygen
                 Key: BIT-1098
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1098
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Bro, Broccoli
    Affects Versions: git/master
            Reporter: Jon Siwek
             Fix For: 2.3


This branch is in the bro and broccoli repos and improves the automated script-reference documentation generation process, broxygen.

This should address issues in BIT-701 and BIT-751, let me know if there's anything not covered that's still relevant.

Highlights:

- Remove {{--doc-scripts}} and {{-Z}} options to toggle documentation mode -- the parser is now always instrumented to gather documentation from comments of the form "##", "##!", or "##<".

- Raw comments are available at runtime through several BIF functions: {{get_*_comments}};

- Add {{--broxygen}} and {{-X}} options to toggle generating reST-format documentation output, driven by a config file argument.

- Add a "broxygen" Sphinx extension domain, allowing certain pieces of documentation to be generated on-the-fly via invoking a Bro process.  Re-organized/cleaned up the Sphinx source tree in {{doc/}} to use this in some places.
