Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce From: guy@infotec.ch (Guy Roberts) Subject: SUBMISSION: Man pages from Header files (Free) Reply-To: guy@infotec.ch Organization: comp.sys.next.announcements Approved: sanguish@digifix.com The utility is called ManPagesFromHeaders and has an AppKit interface that can convert (NeXT) Objective-C header files into rich text format in the same style as the on-line object class documentation provided by NeXT. ManPagesFromHeaders.tar.Z (60Kb) can be found on sonata.cc.purdue.edu (128.210.15.30) in pub/next/submissions. You will need to compile it. Of course you will still have to fill in the gaps to describe what each class and method is for, but the program lays out a skeleton page using appropriate fonts and tabulation. A better solution might be to have comments within the code of a format that can be recognised by a manual page generator. That way a well commented object class could be used to produce a nearly complete manual page. The existing code should be made to work as a service. Happy documenting, Guy Roberts, guy@infotec.ch.

Note: There was a version up on sonata.cc.purdue.edu that was corrupted earlier today. That has been replaced, and the version currently there appears fine. - Scott Anguish
