phpDocumentor 2

What is phpDocumentor 2?

phpDocumentor 2, the current standard auto-documentation tool for the PHP language, is a PHP documentation generator based on docblock parsing. Similar to Javadoc and written in PHP, phpDocumentor can be used from the command line or a web interface to create professional documentation from PHP source code. With support for linking between documentation, incorporating user-level documents like tutorials, and the creation of highlighted source code with cross-referencing to PHP general documentation, phpDocumentor utilizes an extensive templating system to transform source code comments into human-readable, useful formats. This system allows the creation of easy-to-read documentation in 15 different pre-designed HTML versions, PDF format, Windows Helpfile CHM format, and Docbook XML. Users can also create their own templates to match the look and feel of their project
