Python z80 documentation generator
« on: October 11, 2014, 08:20:37 pm »
So me and Iambian have been working on projects and one of our biggest issues has been keeping everything even remotely documented.

So I whipped up this python script to parse specially formatted comments and spit out a text file containing all the information in a slightly organized fashion. In an attempt to force us to at least put some kind of documentation down.

Also supports Spitting out a to do file.

I plan on making it support some kinda HTML output at some point. But I have yet to figure out how I want to do that. (CHMs would be nice but google failed me :()

Python Script :

I'm unsure if I understand what is the purpose of this so I'm probably missing something: Is it like RunerBot on IRC where it spits out doc when entering a command or instruction? Is it an offline version of WikiTI? Is it a syntax colorizer/commenter or is it a python<>Z80 ASM code converter?

It is a way to make it easy to index asm routines for later lookup

So I assume it takes your ASM source then create a file listing the documentation of only the commands you have used so far?

In your comments you describe the routines you use, and then you can look up the routines later.
