Luobo¶ ↑

Luobo is a code-generator that can expands macros defined in a source file.

Basically you use luobo by extends a Converter:

require "luobo"
class LuaSpecConverter < Luobo::Converter
  def regex_comment_header; '^\s*--' end
  def do_hello token
    "-- Hello, " + token.line_code + "!"
  end
end

You write a lua file (‘test.lua`) like:

require "some_code"
-- HELLO: world

You run:

LuaSpecConverter.new('test.lua', STDOUT).convert

Then you will get those in stdout:

require "some_code"
-- Hello, world!

Inline processor like:

save to file ##FILE: name##

If you define

def do_file token
  '<tt class="filename">' + token.line_code + '</tt>'
end

will become:

<tt class="filename">token.line_code</tt>
