Dox

Dox is a JavaScript documentation generator written for node.

Dox is a 2 hour product of my frustration with documentation generators. I wanted something that could parse my JavaScript using markdown and JSDoc tags, an easy to use executable, as well as a single deployment file, no external css or js, one file!

Features

• Supports JSDoc
• Markdown bodies
• Custom title / description
• Simple CLI dox
• Single file generated
• Generated navigation menu
• Linked function definitions with references
• Syntax highlighting

Installation

Install from npm:

$ npm install dox

Install from git clone or tarball:

Usage Examples

Simple example:

$ dox --title Connect lib/connect/index.js

Lots of files:

$ dox --title Connect --desc "markdown _here_" $(file lib/* -type f) > docs.html
