Class ParsedJavadocDocstring

ParsedDocstring --+
                  |
                 ParsedJavadocDocstring

An encoded version of a Javadoc docstring. Since Javadoc is a fairly simple markup language, we don't do any processing in advance; instead, we wait to split fields or resolve crossreference links until we need to.

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, docstring, errors)` Create a new `ParsedJavadocDocstring`.
	`concatenate(self, other)` Return a new parsed docstring containing the concatination of this docstring and `other`.
`ParsedDocstring`	`summary(self)` Return a short summary of this docstring.
`string`	`to_plaintext(self, docstring_linker, **options)` Translate this docstring to plaintext.
Inherited from `ParsedDocstring`: `__add__`, `index_terms`, `to_latex`
Field Splitting
`(ParsedDocstring, list of Field)`	`split_fields(self, errors)` Split this docstring into its body and its fields.
HTML Output
`string`	`to_html(self, docstring_linker, **options)` Translate this docstring to HTML.

Method Details

split_fields(self, errors=None)

Split this docstring into its body and its fields.
