Java has Javadoc for generating the API documentation into HTML files from information in source code files. ProvideX now has PvxDoc which will allow the generation of class documentation from the source code of a ProvideX class definition.
This utility program was contributed by an anonymous third party. The original code was enhanced to allow it to be used as a contributed tool for the ProvideX plug-in for Eclipse. It will generate HTML documentation for all class files within a project (or directory tree). It will also identify any inheritance and sub-class relationships.
The plug-in API reference documentation was generated using this tool.
This document will provide a simple overview of the PvxDocs contributed tool. Additional information for creating and registering a new contributed tool is included in the 'Help Contents' for the ProvideX plug-in in Eclipse.
