3.1.3. Taglets¶

Taglets are used to refer to other symbols and add metadata to symbols when generating documentation.

There are two types of taglets:

3.1.3.1. Inline Taglets¶

Inline Taglets are used in descriptions.

{@inheritDoc}: Used to directly inherit descriptions from the parent symbol
{@link [node]}: Used to link to another symbol. [node] is the fully qualified name of the symbol you want to link to. e.g. {@link GLib.Action}.

Block taglets are used at the end of each documentation comment.

@deprecated [version]: Show that a symbol has been deprecated. [version] refers to a version number e.g. @deprecated 8.0.0.
@see [node-name]: List a symbol to view.
@param [parameter-name] [description]: Add description about a parameter used in a symbol. Usage: @param is_editable Determines if description can be changed
@since [version]: Specify which version a symbol became available. Usage: @since 3.1.0
@return [description]: Add description of result of data returned from a symbol.
@throws [type-name] [description]: Specify an error that could get thrown through the usage of a symbol
