AggrorJorn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Can anybody recommend a tool for creating CHM/Offline documentation? I am currently working with a PDF file which is just not that useful when dealing with API and code snippets. Another possibility would creating an offline website like a wiki or custom website, but CHM would be nice too. All your thoughts are are welcome.

nick.ace Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There are a few different API documentation generators that might work. One tool called Doxygen is nice. It generates linked HTML pages. If you write the function prototypes out, then you can generate the documentation with this. This tool is nice because it preserves class hierachy. But this would force you to write out every function prototype in Leadwerks. You could scrape the Leadwerks API pages though and write the relevant information in a .h file and then compile that file with Doxygen.

AggrorJorn Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks but I am creating my own API where I need the tool for, not the Leadwerks API. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.ace Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Oh ok. I mean you can still use Doxygen though, that's what it's designed to do. You just put a few comments in your code and the documentation gets generated for you. You can even change the styling of the HTML pages that are generated. There's a few extensions in other languages such as Lua in case that's what you were after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytecroc Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I use the first and found also the second, but not tested. http://www.helpndoc.com/ or https://dumah7.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/kel-chm-creator-v-1-4-0-0/ Quote Leadwerks 4.x Pro, examples please for C++, english is not my native language.
