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
• tcldoc - similar to javadoc
• The Simple Library - framework to support nearly literate programming doc
