Question:  If I continue doing this work, would you be willing to

Note that we already have comments which are parsed to form our
existing documentation, see action.c for an example.  Why not continue
with that syntax?  Otherwise, as long as you don't break the doc
tools, I have no problem with people adding comments ;-)

Yeah, I found the stuff in action.c after I posted.  I'll remind
myself to "look first, then post" next time!

In any event, the action.c stuff wasn't showing up when I ran doxygen
on my box.  I believe it was because the comments weren't prefaced by
/** (they were /* instead), so my config of doxygen wasn't noticing
them.  Perhaps you guys use a different config file?  In any event, I
am happy to change the comments to /** style.

We're not currently using doxygen. All of the sections of the texinfo manual that described file formats and actions are extracted from the comments in the code by a perl script that DJ wrote. The perl script extracts the information and produces a .texi file which is included in the building of the manual. It has been most useful because now the documentation for the actions and the file format should be complete and accurate. We even have a good shot at keeping it that way too!

I guess I don't know enough about doxygen to comment on how it would or wouldn't help out.
