  <section id="gtk-doc">
    <title>gtk-doc</title>

    <p>Das bevorzugte Dokumentationssystem für GNOME-Bibliotheken ist <link href="http://www.gtk.org/gtk-doc/">gtk-doc</link>, welches eingebettete Kommentare aus dem Code entpackt und daraus ein <link href="http://docbook.org/">DocBook</link>-Dokument und HTML-Seiten erstellen kann. Diese können in <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Devhelp">Devhelp</link> gelesen werden. Ein großer Teil der Infrastruktur von GNOME ist darauf ausgelegt, mit Dokumentation umzugehen, die mit gtk-doc erstellt wurde.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="build-system">
    <title>Build-System</title>

    <p>
      To integrate gtk-doc into a project’s build system, follow the
      <link href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk-doc-manual/stable/settingup.html.en">
      instructions in the gtk-doc manual</link>. Note that while the
      <file>sections.txt</file> file is automatically generated the first time
      gtk-doc is run, it is not generated subsequently, and should be kept up to
      date manually. It should also be
      <link href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk-doc-manual/stable/settingup_vcs.html.en">
      in version control</link>.
    </p>

    <p>
      gtk-doc’s <code>no-tmpl</code> flavour should be used, and XML mode should
      be used instead of SGML. (tmpl mode and SGML are both outdated and slower
      than XML.)
    </p>
    <p>Falls es nötig ist, die Paketversion in der Dokumentation anzupassen, erstellen Sie eine Datei namens <file>docs/version.xml.in</file>, die Folgendes enthält:</p>
    <code>@PACKAGE_VERSION@</code>
    <p>Fügen Sie sie zu <code>AC_CONFIG_FILES</code> in <file>configure.ac</file> hinzu und schließen Sie sie folgendermaßen in die Haupt-Dokumentationsdatei (<file>*-docs.xml</file>) ein: <code>&lt;!ENTITY version SYSTEM "version.xml"&gt;</code> in the <code>DOCTYPE</code> am Anfang des Dokuments. Die Paketversion kann dann als <code>&amp;version;</code> in den Text eingebettet werden.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="standard-layout">
    <title>Standard-Layout</title>

    <p>Wenn Sie ein Standard-Layout für das Inhaltsverzeichnis, die Abschnitte, Anhänge usw. verwenden, können Sie die gleiche <file><var>Projektname</var>-docs.xml</file>-Vorlage mit wenigen Änderungen für andere Projekte verwenden. Es hat auch den Effekt, dass das Dokumentationslayout über Projektgrenzen hinweg gleich ist und dadurch den Entwicklern mehr vertraut ist.</p>

    <p>Das folgende Layout ist zu empfehlen:</p>
    <listing>
      <title><file><var>Projektname</var>-docs.xml</file></title>

  <section id="licensing">
    <title>Lizenzierung</title>
    <p>Es ist wichtig, die für die API-Referenzen verwendete Lizenz klar zu stellen, insbesondere dann, wenn der Code Beispiele enthält, die frei kopiert werden dürfen.</p>

    <p>Typischerweise verwenden Projekte meist die gleiche Lizenz für ihre API-Referenzen wie für den Projektcode selbst, um Verwirrung zu vermeiden. Andere Projekte verwenden CC-BY-SA 3.0 für sämtliche Referenzdokumentation. Die Wahl liegt bei Ihnen.</p>

    <p>
      As shown in the <link xref="#standard-layout">Standard Layout</link> you
      should include a <file>license.xml</file> in the top-level gtk-doc DocBook
      file which gives the full text of your documentation license.
    </p>
  </section>

  <section id="public-api">
    <title>Öffentliche APIs</title>

    <p>Alle öffentlichen APIS müssen gtk-doc-Kommentare haben. Für Funktionen sollten diese in der Quelldatei direkt über der Funktion platziert werden.</p>

    <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="valid">/**
 * gtk_get_flow:
 * @widget: a #GtkWidget
 *
 * Gets the flow of a widget.
 *
 * Note that flows may be laminar or turbulent...
 *
 * Returns: (transfer none): the flow of @widget
 */
GtkFlow *
gtk_get_flow (GtkWidget *widget)
{

  ...

}</code>

    <p>
      Documentation comments for macros, function types, class
      structs, etc. should be placed next to the definitions, typically
      in header files.
    </p>

    <p>
      Section introductions should be placed in the source file they describe,
      after the license header:
    </p>

    <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="valid">/**
 * SECTION:gtksizerequest
 * @Short_Description: Height-for-width geometry management
 * @Title: GtkSizeRequest
 *
 * The GtkSizeRequest interface is GTK+'s height-for-width (and
 * width-for-height) geometry management system.
 * ...
 */</code>

    <p>
      Keep in mind that in order to include a function, macro,
      function type, or struct type, it needs to be listed in your
      documentation’s <file>modulename-sections.txt</file> file.
    </p>

    <p>
      To properly document a new class, it needs to be given its own
      section in <file>modulename-sections.txt</file>, needs to be
      included in your toplevel <file>modulename-docs.sgml</file>,
      and the <code>get_type()</code> function for your class needs
      to be listed in your <file>modulename.types</file>.
    </p>
  </section>

  <section id="introspection-annotations">
    <title>Introspection Annotations</title>

    <p>
      Each gtk-doc comment should have appropriate
      <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations">
      GObject introspection annotations</link>. These are useful for two
      reasons:
    </p>
    <list type="numbered">
      <item><p>
        They add important information about parameter types, nullability and
        memory management to the C API documentation generated by gtk-doc.
      </p></item>
      <item><p>
        They allow public APIs to be automatically bound in other languages,
        such as Python or JavaScript.
      </p></item>
    </list>

    <p>
      Introspection annotations add information to APIs (functions, function
      parameters, function return values, structures, GObject properties,
      GObject signals) which is otherwise not present in the machine readable C
      API and only exists in the form of human readable documentation or
      convention. They are very important.
    </p>

    <p>
      In gtk-doc comments, annotations should be preferred over human-readable
      equivalents. For example, when documenting a function parameter which may
      be <code>NULL</code>, use the <code>(nullable)</code> annotation rather
      than some text:
    </p>
    <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="valid">/**
 * my_function:
 * @parameter: (nullable): some parameter which affects something
 *
 * Body of the function documentation.
 */</code>

    <p>Anstelle von:</p>
    <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="invalid">/**
 * my_bad_function:
 * @parameter: some parameter which affects something, or %NULL to ignore
 *
 * Bad body of the function documentation.
 */</code>

    <p>
      For more information on introspection, see the
      <link xref="introspection">introspection guidelines</link>.
    </p>
  </section>

  <section id="symbol-versioning">
    <title>Symbol-Versionierung</title>

    <p>
      Whenever a symbol is added to the public API, it should have a
      documentation comment added. This comment should always contain a
      <code>Since</code> line with the package version number of the release
      which will first contain the new API. This should be the number currently
      in <file>configure.ac</file> if
      <link xref="versioning#release-process">post-release version
      incrementing</link> is being used.
    </p>

    <p>Zum Beispiel:</p>
    <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="valid">/**
 * my_function:
 * @param: some parameter
 *
 * Body of the function documentation.
 *
 * Since: 0.5.0
 */</code>

    <p>
      gtk-doc uses this information to generate indexes of the APIs added in
      each release. These should be added to the main <file>*-docs.xml</file> as
      an appendix:
    </p>
    <code mime="application/docbook+xml">&lt;part&gt;
	&lt;title&gt;Appendices&lt;/title&gt;
	&lt;index id="api-index-full"&gt;
		&lt;title&gt;API Index&lt;/title&gt;
		&lt;xi:include href="xml/api-index-full.xml"&gt;&lt;xi:fallback/&gt;&lt;/xi:include&gt;
	&lt;/index&gt;
	&lt;index id="api-index-deprecated"&gt;
		&lt;title&gt;Index of deprecated symbols&lt;/title&gt;
		&lt;xi:include href="xml/api-index-deprecated.xml"&gt;&lt;xi:fallback/&gt;&lt;/xi:include&gt;
	&lt;/index&gt;
	&lt;index role="0.1.0"&gt;
		&lt;title&gt;Index of new symbols in 0.1.0&lt;/title&gt;
		&lt;xi:include href="xml/api-index-0.1.0.xml"&gt;&lt;xi:fallback/&gt;&lt;/xi:include&gt;
	&lt;/index&gt;
	&lt;!-- More versions here. --&gt;
	&lt;xi:include href="xml/annotation-glossary.xml"&gt;&lt;xi:fallback /&gt;&lt;/xi:include&gt;
&lt;/part&gt;</code>
  </section>

  <section id="dbus-api">
    <title>D-Bus-APIs</title>

    <p>
      D-Bus interface descriptions contain documentation comments, and these can
      be extracted from the XML using <cmd>gdbus-codegen</cmd>, and turned into
      DocBook files to be included by gtk-doc.
    </p>

    <p>Die DocBook-Dateien können folgendermaßen in die Datei <file>*-docs.xml</file> eingeschlossen werden:</p>
    <code mime="application/docbook+xml">&lt;chapter&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;C Interfaces&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;partintro&gt;
    &lt;para&gt;C wrappers for the D-Bus interfaces.&lt;/para&gt;
  &lt;/partintro&gt;

  &lt;xi:include href="xml/SomeDBusService.xml"/&gt;
  &lt;xi:include href="xml/SomeOtherService.xml"/&gt;
&lt;/chapter&gt;</code>

    <p>
      The generated XML files must be included in the <code>content_files</code>
      variable in your gtk-doc <file>Makefile.am</file>, otherwise the build
      will fail. (This is to fix situations where the <code>builddir</code> does
      not equal the <code>srcdir</code>.)
    </p>
  </section>

  <section id="keeping-up-to-date">
    <title>Dekumentation aktuell halten</title>

    <p>
      gtk-doc comes with support for checking the documentation with some basic
      tests. These check that all version indexes are included in the main
      <file>*-docs.xml</file> file and that all symbols are documented, among
      other things.
    </p>

    <p>Diese Tests sollten immer aktiviert werden. Fügen Sie Folgendes zu <file>Makefile.am</file> für gtk-doc hinzu:</p>
    <code>TESTS = $(GTKDOC_CHECK)</code>

    <p>Die Tests werden dann innerhalb von <cmd>make check</cmd> ausgeführt.</p>
