LDoc

[SquidDev]

Port LDoc to CC, so documentation generation can be automated.
I need to think about how this should be implemented. the options are:

1. CCML: The trouble with this is that it won't work on normal browsers
2. HTML: Won't work in CC
3. Custom format - in game documentation browser

A mix of 2 and 3 seem most likely, but I don't know yet.

What's the status of this? If it's not done I'd be fully willing to contribute to a fork of LDoc.

I know HTML/CSS very well, and could easily make a IG parser.

I've done absolutely nothing on this, but my current project is partially aimed at Howl - I'm trying to update MetaLua so I can resolve Moonscript, Lua and Tua to one single AST format. The tree will include comments so it should be easier to parse the extracted comments then using patterns. However I see no harm in starting an LDoc port.

I think the best way to do it would be to generate HTML with extra comments that can be parsed by a CC program - that would make it usable both in and out of CC.

Whilst it would be nice to use a custom version of LDoc which parses Lua and handles scope, for now using the default is good enough.
