Hi,
Seeing the discussions about annotating the documentation created by FPDoc, I added support for notes.
(revision 20304)
In short:
At the level of the <module>, <topic> and <element> tags, you can now include a <notes> tag.
Within the <notes> tag, you can include one or more <note> tags.
They are typeset as an unordered list, which means that it can basically contain the same things as a <li> element.
(so no tables, code blocks and what not).
By default, the <notes> tag is ignored.
Only if you give fpdoc the --emit-notes option, then the notes will be included in the output.
(at least in HTML and all linear output).
The fpdoc XML project file also supports the emit-notes option.
I have documented all this it in the official fpdoc reference guide. (rev. 890)
As a side note:
The official FPC documentation will not contain notes in the output.
I consider them for private use only, so it is useless to submit notes.
But I can understand other people want such a feature, therefor I added it to fpdoc.
Michael.
