YARD-Docco: Docco style code annotation

YARD-Docco is a YARD extension that provides an additional source view that will show comments alongside the source code within a method. I recently spent some time learning Backbone.js and really enjoyed the annotated source code that was generated for a large number of the examples and thought that it would be useful to add this view to YARD's existing source view to take advantage of comments made within methods.

I have created a trivial, example project to help provide a quick visualization of the resulting documentation.

The implemented example has been deployed at http://recursivegames.com/yard-docco/Example.html.

**1. Comments made within methods appear alongside the code they are attempting to describe.

**2. YARD tags (e.g. @note, @todo) and links will appear as they do for methods and classes.

YARD-Docco requires the following gems installed:

YARD 0.8.3 - http://yardoc.org

To install yard-docco use the following command:

$ gem install yard-docco

(Add sudo if you're installing under a POSIX system as root)

YARD supports for automatically including gems with the prefix yard- as a plugin. To enable automatic loading yard-docco.

$ yard config load_plugins true
$ yardoc 'example/**/*.rb'

Now you can run YARD as you normally would and have your features, step definitions and transforms captured.

An example with the rake task:

require 'yard'

YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new do |t|
  t.files   = ['lib/**/*.rb', 'app/**/*.rb']
  t.options = ['--any', '--extra', '--opts'] # optional
end
