Autodoc

Automatic Documentation Program

Description

Autodoc is a utility that generates NEXTSTEP-style Rich Text Formatted documentation for Objective-C objects by extracting comments imbedded in the object source code files. Autodoc will produce documentation for objective C classes, categories, protocols, functions, definitions, macros, typedef's and global variables.

Availability

Autodoc is available for free, thanks to ITSolutions. The latest release of Autodoc, Release 1.8.4 (Revision 1.5), is available at ftp.thoughtport.com. For information about changes to Autodoc, see the change log
