Hi all,
Earlier I found a resource that mentioned you can reference a static variable in function documents, but I’m unable to find the resource again to see how they did it.
How do you do it?
I’ve tried the following without success:
@doc """
Starts up the ets table (with name @cache_name)
yada yada yada
"""
and
@doc """
Starts up the ets table (with name #{@cache_name})
yada yada yada
"""
Where Next?

Can you show a full example? The latter should work fine. Notably these are “module attributes” not static variables.

Doh, yes Module Attributes.
I just upgraded to 1.8.0 and tried again. This time #{@cache_name} worked. I don’t think the resource I found earlier was for 1.8.0 though.

I don’t think anything related to this changed in 1.8.0

If you used the
~Ssigil to define the docs earlier, it ignores string interpolation. Only using the triple double-quotes allows it.hauleth
Or using
~s.
