Subject: | [cp-patches] Usage of the @see tags |
Date: | Fri, 25 Feb 2005 22:22:45 +0100 |
The @see tag should be used inline in the javadocs instead of the <code>somemethod()</code> constructs, as discussed privately. Michael
What exactly do you mean?The @see tag is not used inline. All @see tags must be grouped under the heading, same as @para, @author, @return and others. The @link and @linkplain tags can be used inline, but as you suggested @see, I have used @see - this also looked acceptable. If I use @see, I must leave <code> as otherwise the comment is difficult to read. The reader needs to think if this is a part of the sentence or java identifier.
I do not know, maybe some documentation generators are error tolerant, treating @see as @link after they find it in a wrong place. However this seems clearly an error and I will not correct it.
Regards Audrius P.S. This is from my documentation: @see referenceAdds a "See Also" heading with a link or text entry that points to reference. A doc comment may contain any number of @see tags, which are all grouped under the same heading. (...) For inserting an in-line link within a sentence to a package, class or member, see address@hidden
