Autodocbook is a Perl script which parses C and C++ code and header files, and extracts specially formatted comments. These comments are then used to generate Docbook documentation for those code files. It is possible to easily convert this documentation to many useful formats, including: man pages GNU info pages HTML text and embed the documentation into other Docbook files It is not envisaged that people other than developers will need to install autodocbook. Autodocbook was developed some time ago by Michael Still, and is available from http://www.stillhq.com . Simply copy the file named autodocbook into your path.
