Preperation

1. Move docscripts.lua into D:/OS.
2. Move the other scripts into D:/Programs.
3. Move documentation into D:/JSON_Source.

Usage

• Run verify to make sure the docs are well made.
• Run analyze to learn more about the docs.
• Run generate to create the docs

Value Types:

• string: A simple type.
• table: A collection of types.
• "any": Any type.
• table: This has to exist in a collection of types, the collection could contain only one.

Default types:

• "number"
• "string"
• "boolean"
• "nil"
• "table"
• "userdata"
• "function"
