About:
ROBODoc is an API documentation tool. It extracts specially-formated comment headers from a source file and puts them in a separate file. ROBODoc allows you to include the program documentation in the source code and avoid having to maintain two separate documents. ROBODoc can format the documentation in HTML, LaTeX, RTF, XML DocBook, or ASCII format. It is even possible to include parts of the source code. It works with Assembler, C, C++, Java, Perl, LISP, Occam, Tcl/Tk, Pascal, Fortran, shell scripts, HTML, and COBOL; basically any language that supports comments.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
Autoconfiguration was added. The manual was improved. An example makefile is included that shows how to automatically generate documentation in any of the four supported formats. Support for mailto links was added. The algorithm to find crosslinks was improved.

I fell in love with javadoc, but I can't solve all of my problems with java. I like the fact that I can use this in documenting C library code. ROBODoc supports an impressively wide range of input languages and output formats. I looked at a few alternatives, but they don't seem to have ROBODoc's flexibility.
