[erlang-bugs] Edoc crash when using macro with function

[Adam Lindberg]

Thanks, didn't make that connection with the documentation at all.

Follow up question: Is it possible to make edoc just skip those files? Right now it says that is is skipping them, but exits with an error anyway. I'd like it to generate the documentation for the modules that do work. Is that possible?

Cheers,
Adam
