mdoc: markdown documentation generator
Lately I’ve been avoiding inline documentation specially because JavaScript is a very loose language and I feel that inline-docs add too much noise to the code… But since documentation is very important if you want other people to use your code or if you have a large codebase I decided to create a simple documentation generator using nodejs to parse external markdown files. I tried to find other tools but none of them had all the features I wanted so I decided to code mine.
So far it’s a little rough around the edges, code can be cleaned a lot (I coded it really fast) and it isn’t as flexible/polished as I want it to be, but it’s working fine for my current needs.
The project is on Github and repository contains some example files with comments, you can check the amd-utils documentation for a live example - amd-utils documentation uses a custom template but it’s very close to mdoc default template, only extra feature is the “specs” and “source” links (since other projects probably have a different file/folder structure).
I’m not sure when I will have time to improve it but I already added a couple feature requests to the issue tracker. Watch it, fork it and contribute! If you want to report bugs and feature requests please use the Github issue tracker.
That’s it!
