Step 8: Open up the URL of the documentation http://server:3000/ and there it is! == Generating documentation for rails or ruby == There are several tasks in the Rannotate Rakefile to help generate the documentation for rails or ruby. rake doc:api:rails will generate the docs for the current version of rails rake doc:api:ruby will generate the docs for ruby These tasks will place the docs in the /doc directory == Troubleshooting == For some reason under rails 1.0 there are issues with importing the documentation using YAML. Please use later versions of rails.
