Natural Docs Plus Package (ND+).
NaturalDocs allows developers to review and share their code
comments in a browser. ActionScript, C#, and Perl developers
should consider using this documentation generator because
these languages are fully supported by NaturalDocs. Fully
supported languages come with the following features:
o Implicit comment generation
o Inheritence diagrams
o Automatic scope detection
Firstly this set of pages where generated using ND+ and shall
demonstrate many of the New Features available to Natural
Docs users with minimal changes to existing documents.
http://ndplus.sourceforge.net/
Natural Docs is an open-source documentation generator for
multiple programming languages. You document your code in a
natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs
then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML
documentation from it.
ND+ is a fork of what was Natural Docs 1.4 with a number of
enhancements hopefully under the same philosophy as Natural
Docs was originally developed.
A working example can found bundled with the GRIEF editor project,
distributed as a single pdf document 'griefprogguide.pdf'.

Release Changes:
beta8 - MANDOC generation mode (stable).
beta5 - Minor HTML table column layout corrections.
New Features:
o Packages - ND++ breaks away from a one-to-one
relationship of source pages and the produced result.
ND++ permits packages to split across files, which
may then be merged and/or split into a number of
documents.
As an example, pulling both header/include
definitions and the underlying source code function
definitions together into a single view.
o Tables - Several difference table formats are available.
o Prototypes - Embedded protypes.
o SyntaxHighlighter - Syntax hilighting of code snippets.
o Admonitions - Highlighted reminders and notes.
o Lists - Definition Lists, Bullet Lists and Numbered
Lists support multiple leveled definitions.
o Modelines - File level configuration options.
o Plugins - Several third party ASCII art packages have
been integrated.
o Page Footer - Global page footer.
Beta Features
o C++ - Native language support.
o Member documentation - Permits QT style member
documentation.
o MANDOC output.
Caution: BETA Product
It is easy to state ND+ has not endued the same level of
public usage and related testing as the primary Natural Docs
package has since it initial release.
ND+ is fairly stable in that it has been privately used for a
number of years across several projects, despite this it
should be only for non casual users or unless there are
specific features you require not currently available.
