LuaDoc
Documentation Generator Tool for the Lua language

Overview

LuaDoc is a documentation generator tool for Lua source code. It parses the declarations and documentation comments in a set of Lua source files and produces a set of XHTML pages describing the commented declarations and functions.

The output is not limited to XHTML. Other formats can be generated by implementing new doclets. The format of the documentation comments is also flexible and can be customized by implementing new taglets. Please refer to customizing section for further information.

LuaDoc is free software and uses the same license as Lua.

Status

Current version is 3.0.1. It was developed for Lua 5.1.
