Hello !

I’m currently writing a “not so small anymore” project involving a  
fair deal of metaprogramming, and I would have liked rdoc to reflect a  
bit better the state of my classes. Is there any way to have rdoc  
understand a statement like

param\_accessor :size, ‘size’, “Size”, {:type =\> :integer}, “The size  
?”

I would want rdoc to display something close to what it would for

# The size ?

attr\_accessor :size

but I don’t have a clue about how to do it. I tried the --accessor  
option, but it treats :size, ‘size’, “Size” and so on each as different  
attributes, which is not acceptable in my case/

Any hint ? Thanks !

```
Vince

Pity. Do you think it would be possible to add such a thing without  
disturbing rdoc too much ? Would anyone be interested ? I could give it  
a try, then.

Cheers,

It is a frequently requested feature, go for it.

This would be excellent, if someone could swing it.
