YARD can parse Rails

With just a few tweaks, I just ran successfully YARD over actionpack, activesupport, and activerecord with just one error (repeated in a few spots) in the template generation process. I’m starting to realize that the parser isn’t as bad as I thought– there was one noticeable parser issue, which will be fixed in the coming weeks. I am still, however, looking closely at the ruby2ruby and ruby_parser projects– ruby_parser is useless to yard until it starts supporting line numbers, but I’m waiting anxiously to see where Ryan Davis is going to get with it.

You can check out the docs over here but remember they’re not supposed to look nice yet.

And for those interested, the Subversion repository for YARD is at
