hi. Might be a dummy question. Sorry if so but… where/how can I get this application?

I think I do not have it anylonger. What is it good for anyways? Writing such a think is pretty easy.

The XML generator
1) Write a parser
2) Convert to XML

The XML translator
1) Write some XSLT
2) Write a XSLT renderer
3) Render XSLT with XML

It is currently not possible for me to invest my whole time in this project. I am willing to finish it but I just can not give any information when since it is a freetime hobby for me and I do not get any money for this. So keep this in mind, stay tuned for a beta-release. Todd Anderson will also get a beta-version. And this project needs lots of beta tests since I want to support most styles of code formating.

Just write me an email so I got yours and I will inform you soon. You can get my email from comment #2 here.

Hello!
I am excited to read about this project! Have you reached a point yet where you would be willing to let others beta-test your application? If so, I would be very interested in learning more. I’m currently in desperate need of a documentation generator tool for the AS3 project I am working on, and would love to do anything I could to help speed along your development.

Thanks for your interest. Since I never used theese meta-tags before I would like to see an example. It would be glad if you could send me a little piece of code to j_at_ je2050_dot_de because it makes it much easier for me to support this.

I already implemented a better support for exceptions. It is “@throw type description” and results in

Description

Does such a meta-tag also include information about the event? Like “an error is thrown if file could not be read” or without?

All I can say is, that I would be fine with some examples :o)

This is great, joa. ( especially since i wouldn’t have to change my current commenting :) ).
I’m sure you’ve already checked out the ASTree xml that BlDoc spits out. I like how you’ve decided to move from to straight nodeName of comment type.
My one feature request is support for pre-class Event meta-tags( ie [Event("load")] or [Event(name="load", type="MyCustomEvent")] ). I use them heavily so i don’t have to peruse a class to see if it fires such-and-such event.

look forward to seeing more of this.
thanks.
