Advanced Features

Summary of the most important non-obvious PasDoc features:

The documentation can be written in an external files (see the --description command-line option), not only in the source code.
The documentation comments in the source code may be in the interface or (if you use --implementation-comments option) implementation section of the unit.
The documentation can be localized to many languages, see the --language command-line option.
Support for arbitrary (even optional) comment markers.
You can write entire pages using pasdoc syntax (like @-tags, see WritingDocumentation). This way you can use pasdoc like a simple document creation tool. See the IntroductionAndConclusion documentation.
You can easily add a search box to your documentation, just pass --use-tipue-search command-line option.
GraphVizSupport allows PasDoc to easily incorporate classes inheritance and unit dependency graphs in the documentation.
--auto-link command-line option allows you to avoid writing @link tags, identifiers will be automatically turned into links.
--auto-abstract command-line option allows you to automatically treat the 1st sentence of the description as an abstract.
Spell checking.
Caching for faster generation of documentation.
Markdown support for emphasis, lists, code blocks etc.
