Subject: Tagging code to generate online docs?
Hello all,
I'm looking for a good automated way to generate online documentation from
.h files, which could well be a contradiction in terms; I realize that. I've
worked with online help, but it's either been written/imported separately in
a HAT or done in WebWorks Publisher with FrameMaker as the source. Now Word
is the reality I live in, whether I like it or not.
More specifically: I've heard of a tool called DocGen, but I don't know
anyone who has used it. Is there anyone out there who has experiences to
share?
