Natural Docs

Natural Docs

Natural Docs is an extensible, multi-language documentation generator.

You document your code in a natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML documentation.

When executed, Natural Docs can automatically document functions, variables, classes, and inheritance from ActionScript, C#, and Perl regardless of existing documentation in the source code. For the other languages listed below, these need to be explicitly documented for them to be generated.

Natural Docs focuses on automation and high-quality HTML output.
