#25 Group classes

[Allan Crooks]

Is it possible to have customised groupings of object
types? I've modified my own local copy of Epydoc 2.1 so
that in the class listing, you have a section which
says "All plugin classes" - see:
http://dopal.sourceforge.net/api/

Is it possible to be able to put some tag to create
these customised groupings?

Can you provide the URL of a page within your api docs
that contains the "All plugin classes" listing? I looked
through several module pages and couldn't find one.

For now, the only way to do this is by defining groups.
This can be done with the @group tag or with special group-
start and group-end comments. This will just make groups
within the "Classes" listing; it won't create a separate
listing.

Eventually, I'd like to make epydoc extensible -- i.e.,
I'd like to make it so you can define a new subclass of
APIDoc, and register some plugins to docintrospecter and
docparser (and maybe the output generators?) to process
them. But that probably won't be available for a while.

Look at the bottom of this page:
http://dopal.sourceforge.net/api/public/toc-everything.html

I appreciate the @group tag, and I do use it - but the
problem is that the "Everything" list might become too big.
I just wanted a way of grouping certain classes together so
I could put them near the end (they are much less
"important" than other classes).

It's a minor thing though, and something I can live without,
so don't feel obliged to move it further up your to do list. :)
