Doc-O-Matic takes source code and comments, adds conceptual topics and external input and produces documentation from it. With its single-source approach, Doc-O-Matic generates many different kinds of output from a single documentation base. Doc-O-Matic produces HTML-based Help files including HTML Help, Help 2, Help Viewer 2.x and browser based Web Help. Doc-O-Matic also creates printable documentation in PDF and RTF formats as well as XML output ideally suited for post-processing.
"We used Doc-O-Matic to produce documentation for a brand new code base and had great results. We documented approximately 1000 API functions and data types for a new project. Without Doc-O-Matic there is no way we would have been able to produce such a nice and complete set of documentation for our customers and have it ready immediately. Before Doc-O-Matic we produced documentation manually, and not only did it take a long time, but the documentation was often out of date just because it was so tedious to make updates. I have looked over the past several years for a decent way to automate our documentation, and evaluated several other products, but Doc-O-Matic is the first product I found that I consider to be really useable, and fully customizable to to my needs for appearance of the output. Speaking of customizable output, Doc-O-Matic is so flexible I was able to configure it to produce output that had nearly the same format as we were producing manually before. Another feature that I really like is how well it reads comments out of the box, and how easy it is to configure it to read any commenting style. Our developers just followed a very simple commenting format for each function in order to allow Doc-O-Matic to produce complete documentation for the function. Our developers like it too because now the API documentation is in one place - the source code. Doc-O-Matic saved me weeks of work in producing this first set of documentation for our new project, and I expect this to keep paying off in the future as I will be able to generate a complete set of documentation for each future release with very little additional work."
