Problems with HeaderDoc 8.0 generating Objective C documentation


  • Subject: Problems with HeaderDoc 8.0 generating Objective C documentation

I've just been marking up a framework that I was going to release so that it's documented. I had started with autodoc but changed to using HeaderDoc. After doing that I'm quite puzzled, the documentation it produces doesn't look much like rest of the documentation that comes out of Apple which I'd like to emulate.

- I can't work out how to make a method name appear in italics in an @description.

- A method signature is formatted freaklishly:

	- ( id ) initWithFieldNames:
        (NSArray *) fieldNames usingOptions:
        (OCCSVOptions *) options;

where did all the extraneous spaces come from? Why aren't they used consistently? Why break the argument names up on separate lines from the arguments themselves?

- In the documentation (bottom of the page of "Tags for Objective C Headers"), it mentions a directory of examples called "ExampleHeaders" but I can't find this. Gee it would help.

- I'm really unclear about how to best add a documentation target to Xcode to generate the documentation. I would have thought this would be an obvious thing to document.

It seems obvious comparing what HeaderDoc is generating is not what Apple are using for their documentation. What do Apple use internally? Or do they keep their documentation separately from the source?

	Ben.
