6 of the Best Free Linux Documentation Generators
A documentation generator is a programming tool that
generates documentation intended for programmers and end users, from a
set of commented source code files, and
in certain cases, binary files.
This type of tool is designed especially for programmers who
do not like writing documents with OpenOffice.org or other types of
wordprocessor.
By using these open source tools, developers can produce high
quality technical documentation within a few minutes, and at
no cost at all.
To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 6 advanced Linux documentation
generators. Hopefully, there will be something of interest
here for anyone who wants to generate documentation.
Now, let's explore the 6 documentation generators at hand. For
each title we have compiled its own portal page, a full description
with an in-depth analysis of its features, together with
links to relevant resources and reviews.
