Theoretically, Natural Docs can generate documentation from any language that can support comments, or from plain text files. When executed, it can automatically document functions, variables, classes, and inheritance from ActionScript, C#, and Perl regardless of existing documentation in the source code. In all other languages, these need to ...
NDoc uses two sources to generate documentation. The first is an assembly file produced by compiling the source code. The other is a pre-generated XML documentation file, usually produced by parsing the source code for special comments (C# compilers from .NET Framework and Mono support this using the "/doc" command-line argument).
The HTML files that Sandcastle produces are either conceptual (user) documentation, being the result of a transformation from Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML) topics, or they are reference documentation, which is automatically generated from reflection data and XML documentation comments. These two different types of HTML output ...
Like other documentation generators such as Javadoc, Doxygen extracts information from both the comment and the symbolic (non-comment) code. A comment is associated with a programming symbol by immediately preceding it in the code. Markup in the comments allows for controlling inclusion and formatting of the resulting documentation.
internal links and links to .NET framework documentation types extracted and linked Doxygen: with XSLT caller and callee graphs, dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, collaboration diagrams Epydoc: Haddock: Yes Yes HeaderDoc: Custom headers, footers, code coloring, and other CSS styles in individual pages.
T4 Template/Text File: Any text format such as XML, XAML, C# files or just plain text files. Umple: Umple, Java, Javascript, PHP Active Tier Umple code embedding one or more of Java, Python, C++, PHP or Ruby Pure Umple code describing associations, patterns, state machines, etc.
The idea of auto-generating documentation is attractive to programmers for various reasons. For example, because it is extracted from the source code itself (for example, through comments), the programmer can write it while referring to the code, and use the same tools used to create the source code to make the documentation. This makes it much ...
A line documentation comment uses '##' and a block documentation comment uses '##[' and ']##'. The compiler can generate HTML, LaTeX and JSON documentation from the documentation comments. Documentation comments are part of the abstract syntax tree and can be extracted using macros. [54]
