A Summary and Description are separated by either + * two subsequent newlines (thus a whiteline in between as can be seen in this + * example), or when the Summary ends with a dot (`.`) and some form of + * whitespace. + */ +DOCCOMMENT; + +$docblock = $factory->create($docComment); +``` + +The `create` method will yield an object of type `\phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock` +whose methods can be queried: + +```php +// Contains the summary for this DocBlock +$summary = $docblock->getSummary(); + +// Contains \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock\Description object +$description = $docblock->getDescription(); + +// You can either cast it to string +$description = (string) $docblock->getDescription(); + +// Or use the render method to get a string representation of the Description. +$description = $docblock->getDescription()->render(); +``` + +> For more examples it would be best to review the scripts in the [`/examples` folder](/examples). |
