Doxx

Use dox to automatically generate beautiful html documentation. Doxx is a total refactoring of dox-foundation.

Outputted HTML is by default based on templates and css from Twitter Bootstrap and syntax highlighting is done by Prism.js.

Doxx was tested with JavaScript as well as generated JavaScript from CoffeeScript.

Demo

• doxx/docs/compile.js
• doxx/docs/dir.js
• doxx/docs/parser.js

Usage
