MkDoc, user manual generation tool for C/C++ projects - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

MkDoc is a documentation tool designed to write user manual and internal documentation for software projects. MkDoc has been designed to parse C and complex C++ declarations while still producing clear documentation for developers and library users.

Unlike most code generation tools MkDoc does not simply write generated code documentation with piece of user text inside. Instead it handles plain documentation files with sections and other constructs (like texinfo or latex) and insert piece of generated code documentation on request. This way it does not enforce the way you structure your document.

It has been designed to parse advanced C++ constructs to enable exposing a simple library API to the user while hidding complex internal code design patterns. It is able to parse class inheritance, template specialization and do template instantiation.

Supported output formats are Html, Latex, GNU Texinfo, DocBook, man page, plain text, RTF and reStructuredText.

See the manual for examples of projects documented using MkDoc.
