Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2001-08-22 Severity: wishlist I intend to package synopsis.
I have contacted upstream and he has no objections. Description ----------- Synopsis is a general source code documentation tool. By means of a modular structure it adapts to different styles of embedded documentation, different programming languages and various output formats. It scales well with the size of the project by allowing processing to be controlled by Makefiles. The original goal of this project was to be able to generate a reference manual for a project we are working on which uses different programming lanugages: the protocols are defined with IDL and the implementation is written in C++. There are no tools to support document generation with explicit cross references between both parts. When thinking about how to design a tool which is able to do that, it was quickly concluded that other parts could be 'outsourced' into separate modules as well, such as the formatting of the generated syntax tree. These are a couple of ideas which hopefully make it a tool which is useful in a wide range of projects.
