Re: Documentation Generation

[Milind Gupta <milind.gupta@...>]

I am not sure if people have heard about RoboDoc [1]. It is a C program and can be customized to generate documentation from comments in any language. I liked it because it had simple concepts and I could use it for my MATLAB, VBA, Lua and C code. I have thought about rewriting it in Lua so it can be easily extended further.

I rolled my own based on markdown.lua to generate HTML docs from inline Lua and C source comments and .md files, although it's somewhat reliant on the custom build system the project uses. With some hacking it might be useful:
