Notes</h1><p>HeaderDoc 8 is the latest incarnation of the
HeaderDoc tool. It consists of a series of perl scripts and several
small C helper applications that allows conversion of documentation embedded
in header files in many languages into HTML and other output formats.</p>
<p>HeaderDoc 8 is the first major feature release in a while.
We held off releasing this until now because we wanted to make sure
that it was solid before unleashing it upon an unsuspecting public.</p>
<p>Thus, we bring you HeaderDoc 8. HeaderDoc 8 is nearly a ground-up
rewrite of HeaderDoc. It incorporates all of the functionality of
previous versions, but also provides a number of new features, such
as declaration syntax coloring/highlighting and an easier-to-use
comment syntax. These features are described in <span class="content_text"><a logicalPath="//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCICDGCE" href="chapter_8_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCICDGCE">“Major Features”</a></span>.</p>
<p>HeaderDoc 8 also adds a number of additional languages with
various levels of support. These are described in <span class="content_text"><a logicalPath="//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCIHIBAI" href="chapter_8_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCIHIBAI">“Languages Supported”</a></span>.</p>
<p>Finally, HeaderDoc 8 adds a number of new (optional) tags
for convenience. These are described in <span class="content_text"><a logicalPath="//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCIICEDJ" href="chapter_8_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001215-CH201-BCIICEDJ">“New Tags”</a></span>.</p>
<p>For additional information, see the documentation that is
packaged with HeaderDoc.</p>
