We automatically treat the 1st sentence of the description as an abstract. So make sure it "stands on its own" and is a good short description of the item. You can also explicitly specify the abstract using @abstract tag.

You can write entire pages using pasdoc syntax, with all supported @tags. This way you can use pasdoc like a simple document creation tool. See the Introduction and conclusion documentation.

By default documentation is read from the source code comments. But you can also write it in separate external files: see the --description command-line option.

By default we consider only comments in the interface section of the unit. But you can enable parsing also the implementation sections, and using comments from it, using the --implementation-comments option.

By default every comment before an identifier is treated as a documentation. But you can limit this with arbitrary comment markers.

--auto-link command-line option allows you to avoid writing so many @link tags. Identifiers will be automatically turned into links.

Markdown support for emphasis, lists, code blocks etc.

Our HTML output has a modern, mobile-friendly design based on Bootstrap. You can customize it using --css or --css-based-on-bootstrap command-line options. You can also add your own HTML code to the output using --html-head, --html-body-begin and --html-body-end command-line options.

The documentation of each class can also include inherited members.

The documentation of each class can have toggable (using checkboxes in HTML) visibility e.g. for protected members. See --visible-members command-line option.

The documentation can point to the source code (file, line number) where given item is declared. It can even link to the online repository (e.g. GitHub) which is a great way to link people from your docs to your code. See the --show-source-position, --source-url-pattern, --source-root command-line options.

You can easily add a search box to your documentation, just pass --use-tipue-search command-line option.

The documentation can be localized to many languages, see the --language command-line option.

GraphVizSupport allows PasDoc to easily incorporate classes inheritance and unit dependency graphs in the documentation.

Spell checking.

Caching for faster generation of documentation.
