DocBlox: your source matters @ #pfc11
DocBlox is a documentation generation application for PHP that parses source code and documentation comments to generate documentation. It supports PHP 5.3+ features and has improved performance over similar tools. DocBlox allows incremental parsing to speed up documentation regeneration when files change. Documentation is generated from docblocks in source code files using supported tags. Elements like classes inherit docblock information from their parents. Docblocks can reference other documented elements. Templates and themes customize the output documentation format and styles. Plugins will allow extending DocBlox's functionality in the future.

- 15. Writing Docblocks ➔ Docblocks are used to tag elements with meta-data ➔ Specific type of comment: /** … */ ➔ Three parts: ● Short description, one liner ● Long description, a complete description of the element ● Tags, annotations which provide additional information
- 16. Docblocks - II /** * This is a short description. * * This is a long description, which may span * multiple lines and contain {@inline} tags and * can be *styled* with `Markdown`. * * @param string $a This is the first variable. * @param Exception $b This is the second variable. * @param array $c This is the third variable. * * @return void */ function myFunction($a, Exception $b, array $c) { }
