The more flexible documentation tool.
williamsmithson Posted 2018-04-17

Doxygen is a classic tool to force programmers to write API docs. If you have a software business, this approach saves a lot of time-human resources.

Doxygen is very powerful documentation generator. All you need is to describe your C++ classes in code comments using special symbol agreement. Doxygen scans your project's file/folder tree and prepares a web-site like documentation. You can then host the docs generated onto a real web site.

JHelpViewer
JavaDoc offline viewer, which alows to filter keywords by part of the word, with multidocument tabbed interface. I created this project when learned Java and missed some features present in 'Qt Assistant' documentation viewer. For example, *.chm files with documentation didn't allow to merge (Java SE/Java EE documentation), html files didn't allow to filter list by keywords, etc.
