MAKR, 2004/11/18:

I noticed - and came across the same problem - people on comp.lang.tcl are regularily asking for tools to automatically generate documentation from source code. As it seems no page is currently dedicated to maintain a list of tools available for Tcl. So let's start here (in no particular order):

  • autodoc
  • ddoc
  • docstring using leading comment in proc bodies
  • doctools - this is more a generic markup language tool
  • HelpSystem interactive help doc embedded into tcl/tk code - kind of different.
  • robodoc
  • Sdoc
  • src2tex
  • tcldoc
  • tdoc
  • TL - this is a glue language that has auto documentation funcctionality.
  • TMML - this is more a generic markup language tool
  • tna
  • tycho - this gui itcl dev environment included a system to create html from itcl classes
  • zdoc
  • ParseTools - extension which can be used to write documentation extractors
