Doc-O-Matic 10
Example Use Everything in the File

Assume you have a VB source file and you select the Use everything in the file check box:

'@@Encrypt 'Summary: ' Encryption function 'Description: ' This function "encrypts" string using ' very simple ascii code shifting. It ' supplied as a demo only, do not use it ' to secure vital information. 'Parameters: ' Plain - the string that will be "encrypted". 'Returns: ' The "encrypted" string. 'Source Code: Public Function Encrypt(ByVal Plain As String) Dim Letter As String For I = 1 To Len(Plain) Letter = Mid$(Plain, I, 1) Mid$(Plain, I, 1) = Chr(Asc(Letter) + 1) Next I Encrypt = Plain End Function

After processing the file, Doc-O-Matic uses the following:

@@Encrypt Summary: Encryption function Description: This function "encrypts" string using very simple ascii code shifting. It supplied as a demo only, do not use it to secure vital information. Parameters: Plain - the string that will be "encrypted". Returns: The "encrypted" string. Source Code: Public Function Encrypt(ByVal Plain As String) Dim Letter As String For I = 1 To Len(Plain) Letter = Mid$(Plain, I, 1) Mid$(Plain, I, 1) = Chr(Asc(Letter) + 1) Next I Encrypt = Plain End Function

This is the content of the entire file without comment characters. The last comment line Source Code: makes sure that the source of the function is used in a special way, that is set off from the text and formatted using a mono-spaced font.

Note: The @@Encrypt token instructs Doc-O-Matic that a new topic with ID Encrypt starts at this position in the file.
