Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. RD (Ruby
Document) is a lightweight markup language for writing Ruby-related
documents. It can be embedded in Ruby source code. RD is a traditional
format. In modern Ruby, developers tend to write documents in RDoc
instead of RD. RD was used for many documentation in the Ruby world. The
documentation for Ruby itself was originally written in RD. In 2002, the
documenation was re-written in RDoc format. The Japanese version of the
Ruby Reference Manual is still written in RD. RD is easy to read in the
raw. It is designed to read or write by hand. But, in most cases,
end-users read it after it has been converted into man pages or HTML
pages.
