- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: A parser is simple a class that implements
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB 
  body: "  #initialize(file_name, body, options)\n"
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: and
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB 
  body: "  #scan\n"
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: The initialize method takes a file name to be used, the body of the file, and an RDoc::Options object. The scan method is then called to return an appropriately parsed TopLevel code object.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: The ParseFactory is used to redirect to the correct parser given a filename extension. This magic works because individual parsers have to register themselves with us as they are loaded in. The do this using the following incantation
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB 
  body: "   require "rdoc/parsers/parsefactory"\n\n   module RDoc\n\n     class XyzParser\n       extend ParseFactory                  <<<<\n       parse_files_matching /\\.xyz$/        <<<<\n\n       def initialize(file_name, body, options)\n         ...\n       end\n\n       def scan\n         ...\n       end\n     end\n   end\n"
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Just to make life interesting, if we suspect a plain text file, we also look for a shebang line just in case it's a potential shell script
