Overview

Using the @inner tag will mark a symbol as an inner member of its parent symbol. This means it can be referred to by “Parent~Child”.

Using @inner will override a doclet’s default scope (unless it is in the global scope, in which case it will remain global).

Examples

Using @inner to make a virtual doclet an inner member

/** @namespace MyNamespace */
/**
 * myFunction is now MyNamespace~myFunction.
 * @function myFunction
 * @memberof MyNamespace
 * @inner
 */

Note that in the above we could have used “@function MyNamespace~myFunction” instead of the @memberof and @inner tags.

Using @inner

/** @namespace */
var MyNamespace = {
    /**
     * foo is now MyNamespace~foo rather than MyNamespace.foo.
     * @inner
     */
    foo: 1
};

In the above example, we use @inner to force a member of a namespace to be documented as an inner member (by default, it would be a static member). This means that foo now has the longname MyNamespace~foo instead of MyNamespace.foo.
