header_docu

create HTML- or Markdown- based documentation from file header

With great respect to Doxygen, JSDoc or DoxDox, but they all reading / parsing the complete textfile.

For me I just need parsing the first comment block of a single textfile or every textfile with a defined file-extension in a folder, doesn't matter if *.js, *.h, *.hpp or whatever

This is the first quick & dirty version of the commandline tool, written with QT5 and C++17

See example markdown output here:

https://github.com/Zheng-Bote/ESP32_libs/wiki

Roadmap:

• quick and dirty commandline parser

• migrate QT commandline to vanilla cxx

• build Linux and Windows desktop app with QT

• build Windows desktop app with C#

• CMake / make support for compilation and installation

Compile

qmake -r "CONFIG+=release"
make

• depending on your system environment you maybe want to modify the MAKEFILE g++ compiler option to g++ -std=c++2a || -std=gnu++1z
