1.1       anton      22: \ the stack effect of loading this file is: ( addr u -- )
                     23: \ it takes the name of the doc-file to be generated.
                     24: 
                     25: \ the forth source must have the following format:
                     26: \  .... name ( stack-effect ) \ wordset [pronounciation]
                     27: \ \G description ...
                     28: 
                     29: \ The output is a Forth source file that looks like this:
                     30: \ doc-entry name stack-effect ) wordset [pronountiation]
                     31: \ description
                     32: \
                     33: \ (i.e., the entry is terminated by an empty line or the end-of-file)
                     34: 
                     35: \ this stuff uses the same mechanism as etags.fs, i.e., the
                     36: \ documentation is generated during compilation using a deferred
                     37: \ HEADER. It should be possible to use this togeter with etags.fs.
                     38: 
                     39: \ This is not very general. Input should come from stream files,
                     40: \ otherwise the results are unpredictable. It also does not detect
                     41: \ errors in the input (e.g., if there is something else on the
                     42: \ definition line) and reacts strangely to them.
                     43: 
                     44: \ possible improvements: we could analyse the defining word and guess
                     45: \ the stack effect. This would be handy for variables. Unfortunately,
                     46: \ we have to look back in the input buffer; we cannot use the cfa
                     47: \ because it does not exist when header is called.
                     48: 
                     49: \ This is ANS Forth with the following serious environmental
                     50: \ dependences: the variable LAST must contain a pointer to the last
                     51: \ header, NAME>STRING must convert that pointer to a string, and
                     52: \ HEADER must be a deferred word that is called to create the name.
