rdoc is a simple command line tool, so we're not talking about syntax. It is no different than 'cp', 'cat', etc... You need to specify files for it to process them. This should work:

% cd ~/Documents/workspace/Welcome\ project
% rdoc Beginning/Person.rb

or:

% cd ~/Documents/workspace/Welcome\ project/Beginning
% rdoc Person.rb

P.S. Ugh. avoid spaces in paths if at all possible.
