Dmitri Shuralyov 1da8801a95 godoc: declare small victory over the punched card tyranny
At least inside this one package.

It's because golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc no longer has CLI support
as of golang/go#25443, it is now only a web server. Luckily, browsers
that display HTML pages are not constrained to the fixed width of
punched cards. On the contrary, they seem to embrace a wide variety of
arbitrary page widths, ranging from narrow to wide. This is in part due
to the proliferation of internet access on device form factors such as
the mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.

So the punchCardWidth constant is now unused and can be removed. This
is a followup to CL 141397 that removed most of the CLI support code,
including the function comment_textFunc, which was its only user. Same
goes for containsOnlySpace.

Updates golang/go#25443

godoc

This directory contains most of the code for running a godoc server. The executable lives at golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc.

Development mode

In production, CSS/JS/template assets need to be compiled into the godoc binary. It can be tedious to recompile assets every time, but you can pass a flag to load CSS/JS/templates from disk every time a page loads:

godoc -templates=$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static -http=:6060

Recompiling static assets

The files that live at static/style.css, static/jquery.js and so on are not present in the final binary. They are placed into static/static.go by running go generate. So to compile a change and test it in your browser:

  1. Make changes to e.g. static/style.css.

  2. Run go generate golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static so static/static.go picks up the change.

  3. Run go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc so the compiled godoc binary picks up the change.

  4. Run godoc -http=:6060 and view your changes in the browser. You may need to disable your browser's cache to avoid reloading a stale file.
