It is admittedly simpler to parse doc comments that only have tags, and it seems that this may just be a speed consideration. phpDocumentor is not the kind of tool you want churning away every time you type in a comment in your source code :). It's the kind of tool you run when the comments are finished, and for huge projects, it's the kind of tool you start running and then go off for a coffee break. Incidentally, we're hoping to shorten that interval to a bathroom break when the tokenizer stabilizes ;) Greg
