Technical Documentation - Doxygen

[Marcos Jarrin]

Hello everyone,

One of the fundamental pillars for developing robust and maintainable projects is proper technical documentation.

To facilitate this process in Harbour projects, there are several automated documentation tools available. Based on my experience, Doxygen proves to be an excellent choice for the following reasons:

Official website: https://doxygen.nl/
✅ Advantages for Harbour projects:

    Native support for multiple programming languages

    Documentation generation in multiple formats (HTML, PDF, LaTeX, RTF)

    Ability to document functions, classes, variables, and data structures

    Support for call graphs and dependency diagrams

    Flexible configuration through Doxyfile

What other tools have you used for documenting Harbour code? What has been your experience with Doxygen?

Best regards,

Marcos Jarrin

Viktor mades a standard for harbour documentation a long time ago.

Anybody can update it on web page.

It becames available on html, pdf, and JSON, available to HBMK2 or any IDE.

Problem on harbour is not the format, but users that allways do the documentation outside harbour.
