@graeme: maybe you could mock up what you are wanting/expecting from this 
particular situation? that way we (TINW) could compare the two and see the 
difference??

Thanks Michael. I've been playing around with fpdoc and trying a few things 
and then reviewing the results. Attached is the output I have thus far for 
ovorloaded functions.


NOTE:
 In generates multiple "Arguments" sections, and they seem to appear
 in the same order as what they are in the "Declaration" section.
 I only documented each parameter once in the XML, and fpdoc
 duplicated it to match the Declaration section.

 It kind of works, but there is definitely place for improvement in
 the HTML output (layout of information).


ps #1:
 I haven't tried documenting function results yet, so not sure what FPDOC is 
going to do with that in this output.



ps #2:
 Also not the "Errors" section. There I simply used the  tags to document 
both possible error results. I couldn't see any other way of doing it.

I had a look at documenting function results. There seems to be a bug 
(or place for improvement) in the HTML output. Even worse, the Linear 
output writers don't output Arguments at all! :-/


Back to the HTML output. Using the 4 overloaded FileAge functions, the 
output is as follows:


  Declaration
 // lists all 4 overloaded functions here
  Arguments
 // ...
  Function result
 // ...
  Arguments
 // ...
  Arguments
 // ...
  Arguments
 // ...
  Description
 // ...


As you can see, the "Function result" section only appears once, and 
only after the first "Arguments" section. I'm thinking the best place 
would rather be to list all 4 "Arguments" sections, then followed by the 
"Function results" section.


Alternatively, I can try listing one "Argument", then one "Function 
result", repeat. I'm not sure if this is possible though, and what 
happens if one of the overloads don't actually have a result.


Your thoughts?

ps:
  I can send you a screenshot in private if that will help visualise
  things better. The FPC mailing list doesn't seem to like attachments
  at all.

  Graeme

Hi,

How do you document overloaded functions? In this case I have overloaded 
functions that have different parameters (obviously), but also different 
result types.


You can't. There are no provisions for this.

I usually make the differences clear in the   node.
