1177125 - Add 'description' column to the directory view

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

If you look at:

  https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/bindings/

you'll see that there is a directory column and that both directories and files can provide a description that will be displayed there.

For directories that contain a file called README/README.txt the description is taken from the first non-empty line in that file.

For files that begin with a Doxygen style comment the description is taken from the first line of that comment.

These comments are really helpful for quickly getting a handle on the purpose and structure of various parts of the codebase.
