Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for generating software documentation are disclosed. A software documentation generator may input a variety of information sources. In one embodiment, these information sources may include various types of files such as application source code files, tag library files, tag library descriptors (TLD), library source code, web services description language (WSDL) files, configuration files, defect reports, and text files. The software documentation generator may analyze each source to determine its type and use this information to extract documentation data from the source according to the format of the data included in that source. The software documentation generator may reformat the documentation data extracted from each source into a uniform format and aggregate the uniformly formatted data into a uniformly formatted aggregate input document. The software documentation generator may transform this document into one or more sets of software documentation in a specified format.
