Syntax

reporter = slreportgen.report.DocBlock.customizeReporter(classpath)

Description

reporter = slreportgen.report.DocBlock.customizeReporter(classpath) creates a class definition file that defines a subclass of slreportgen.report.DocBlock at the location specified by classpath. The method also copies the default reporter templates to the resources/templates subfolder of the folder that contains the class definition file. You can use the class definition file as a starting point to design a custom DocBlock reporter class for your report.
