PasDoc - documentation generator for Pascal source code

Introduction

PasDoc is a documentation tool for the Object Pascal code. Documentation is generated from comments found in the source code and / or in dedicated "description files". Numerous output formats are supported, including HTML, LaTeX (for PDF, PS), XML and PHP.

This is a free and open source software.

We appreciate your donations (Michalis, maintainer of PasDoc, also makes Castle Game Engine), esp. if you use PasDoc in a commercial project. This helps us to continue developing and improving PasDoc.

Basic Usage

Put comments before the identifiers in your Pascal source code. Like this:

{ My amazing unit. }
unit MyUnit;

interface

type
  { My amazing class. }
  TMyClass = class
  public
    { My amazing method. }
    procedure MyMethod;
    { My amazing property. }
    property MyProperty: string read GetMyProperty;
  end;

implementation
...
end.

Process this source code with PasDoc, and get documentation in one of the output formats. From the command-line, you can do it like this:

mkdir -p output-dir/
pasdoc myunit.pas --format html --output output-dir

You can also use the GUI interface.
