shortname is not set correctly.

When using AMD style classes, you normally access constructors without the full namespace.

require(["some/path/MyClass"], function (MyClass) {
    //...
    var obj = new MyClass();
    //...

So I wanted to create a modified theme, in which I wanted to display the short name of the constructor on the class detail page.
I found an attribute "shortname" in the data.json, but it matches name exactly, including the namespace.
I'm guessing this is a bug, since there are code snippets in docparser.js that concat namespace and shortname.

In docparser.js, I found this code:

block.forEach(function (def) {
    if (def.tag === 'namespace') {
        //We have a namespace, augment the name
        var name = trim(def.value) + '.' + value;
        if (value.indexOf(trim(def.value) + '.') === -1) {
            value = name;
            namespace = trim(def.value);
        }
    }
});

When commented out, it creates shortname correctly. Not sure if there are any negative side effects.

Could you provide your JavaScript comments for docs? IMO, it should be works regardless of JavaScript code styles.

/**
 * @class MyClass
 * @namespace some.path
 * @constructor
 */

It works correctly when I put the namespace in a separate comment block:

/**
 * @namespace some.path
 */
/**
 * @class MapController
 * @constructor
 */

Hmm, both works for me. Are you using the latest YUIDoc 0.4.0?

Yes I am using 0.4.0, but you don't seem to get my Problem.. I want the part below "Constructor" to only show the short name, i.e. "MapController". This should be possible using the json data, but the json data shows

        "name": "some.path.MapController",
        "shortname": "some.path.MapController",  

But it should show:

        "name": "some.path.MapController",
        "shortname": "MapController",

Aha, gotcha. It seems to be a bug, but it has no effect on the default theme. I'll take a look later!
