Hey,

I've noticed a problem in the RDoc-generated HTML when a doc-modifier is
used on a method without parentheses.  I've attached a patch against SVN
trunk that fixes this (though you may find a better way).

I use :yields: in the following examples, but I've tried it with
:notnew: and the same thing happened (and is fixed by my patch).


Using this example with Ruby 1.9 (and 1.8):

def hello # :yields: greetings
  yield "hello"
end

def helloparam(hi) # :yields: greetings
  yield hi
end


gives the following in the RDoc generated HTML:


Public Instance methods
hello( {|greetings| ...}
helloparam(hi) {|greetings| ...}


Notice the missing closing parentheses after hello?

But after applying my patch, the parentheses is there:

Public Instance methods
hello() {|greetings| ...}
helloparam(hi) {|greetings| ...}


I've been showing helloparam() in these examples to show that it still
works as expected on other methods.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
