This is a stable non-beta release candidate with all features implemented and known bugs fixed. PHPDocumentor is a JavaDoc-like automatic documentation generator for PHP written in PHP. It is the most versatile tool for documenting PHP. For users new to PHPDocumentor, PHPDocumentor uses an event-driven parser and intermediary data structures that allow it to perform at a level other automatic documentors for PHP cannot achieve: --parsing any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example) --ability to generate multiple output formats --extremely fast parsing --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags --multiple output templates to easily customize the look of generated documentation --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed specification for tags --open source, LGPL Changes from version 0.4.2a include: --resolution of many bugs --the addition of intermediary parsing structures that nearly double parsing speed and allow for new Converter class to process output --improved class inheritance and package handling --error and warning system --improved inline documentation and external documentation PHPDocumentor is ready for immediate use documenting any PHP project, download it and try the most advanced solution for PHP documentation today
