NAME

gnatdoc - extract documentation from Ada sources

SYNOPSIS

gnatdoc -Pproject[.gpr]

DESCRIPTION

GNATdoc is a documentation tool for Ada which processes source files, extracts documentation directly from the sources, and generates annotated HTML files. It is based on the source cross-reference information (e.g. generated by GNAT for Ada files). This means that you should ensure that cross-reference information has been generated before generating the documentation. It also relies on standard comments that it extracts from the source code. The engine in charge of extracting them coupled with the cross-reference engine gives GNATdoc all the flexibility needed to generate accurate documentation, and report errors in case of wrong documentation.
