SAS Packages Framework, version 20231210

---

As usual available at: https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES

 

Intro

The release addresses the #89 issue. Thank you to ynsec37 for bringing the idea up!

New features in this release are dedicated for developers. And they allow to:

• automatically generate a packagename.md markdown file gathering all documentation notes from the help info snippets and the description file into one document,
• create a copy of the zip and md files with the version number in their names (i.e. packagename_***_.zip and packagename_***_.md), just so archiving of the new packages versions would be easier.

For backward compatibility those features are turned off by default, appropriate parameters of the %generatePackage() macro has to be set to 1 during package generation to enable them.

---

Changes:

• Two new parameters added for the %generatePackage() macro.
  The parameters are:

  • markdownDoc= - Indicates if a markdown file with documentation be generated from help information blocks. To get expected effect it is assumed that help snippets are formatted according to the markdown format requirements.
  • easyArch= - When creating documentation file (markdownDoc=1) it indicates if a copy of the zip and markdown files with the version number in the file name be created.

• The HelloWorldPackage.md example updated.

• Documentation updated.
