Convert php arguments to documentation html

Posted on February 14 2018 / in Javascript, Tips

Let us say you have a documented php function with arguments in this form

'display_type' => 'list',// -- "list" or "grid" or "grid-2" or "scroller" or "map" or "horizontal"
'grid_skin' => 'skin-forwall', // -- grid skin
'grid_extra_classes' => '', // -- extra classes for display grid
'tooltip_filters_show' => '', // -- select which information to display on the tooltip, for example "thumb,title,content,tag_houses,tag_villas,date"

And we want to add it to our documentation in a nice html format

We just need this kind of regex

‘(.*?)’.*?=>.*?’.*?’.*?\/\/ –(.*?)\n

with this kind of replace

<div class=”ze-label”><strong>$1</strong></div><div class=”ze-desc”>$2</div> <div class=”clear”></div>

Of course, you can change the html formatting to your liking.
