DIPasDoc

DIPasDoc was designed to generate HTML documentation from comments in Pascal unit source code files. It outputs browsable help as standard HTML files and can also create complete and customizable MS HTML Help projects.

It is the only free help generator that flawlessly follows compiler defines and include files. DIPasDoc is the ideal tool for source code documentation, both for your company's in-house library and your customers.

The DIPasDoc syntax tries to immitate commands from the Delphi command line compiler BCC32.exe if possible, even though it is heavily extended by special preprocessor functionality. Type:

￭ DIPasDoc -? for the full syntax, or ￭ DIPasDoc -? | more to display one screen at a time only.

To test DIPasDoc.exe creating HTML output, run Create_Help.bat. This will run DIPasDoc on its own sources, and place the documentation files in the .Help directory. Open any of the HTML files in your browser to see the result. Since the DIPasDoc source comments are not specially beautified for HTML documentation, it looks a bit odd at times. However, you will still get an impression of the possibilities of DIPasDoc.
