For unit documentation a tool called fpdoc is used that is basically generate with XML + source scanning as input. there are various outputs. The preferences vary. The IPF proponents are very vocal as I'm sure you noticed. I prefer CHM, if only because you can open it on e.g. Windows without telling people how to install a viewer. And frankly I don't care about size, at least not till it gets too weird. > Now I wonder which one is recommended and if there are some helpers > assisting manual authors to use some higher-level markup like > markdown/AsciiDoc/rst? No, it was more meant to be edited from the GUI using editors. The original gui tool was part of fpgui's precursor fpgtk. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
