I've used RoboDoc <http://rfsber.home.xs4all.nl/Robo/>  for such
purposes. I simply tell it to look for comment blocks starting with
&&**** and ending with &&***.

One issue that you will have with any such program is the fact that
they generally want plaintext source code files for input, and may
choke on VFP objects. I wrote a little prg which walks through a
project and runs _SCCTEXT on  its files collection member. You can see
it here <http://pastebin.com/XywfSKiz> (For some odd reason pastebin
repeats the script several times, it's not really 24k lines long!)
Disclaimer: I haven't looked at this thing in  about a decade before
today, but it still seems to run.

If you use something like Paul McNett's scX to generate plaintext
files for a source code management system it's output files could be
used as fodder for RoboDoc too.
