This is a good one.

I'm not sure what you mean here. I thought these were already parsed.

Nice.

Again very useful. I avoided this by moving all of the documentation out 
of the source code completely. Let me rephrase that. It first pulls from 
the source code but if there is content located in the database for that 
object it takes precedent.

OK this might be one major difference. I am working from a 0.6.21 
version. Why don't you have that version you ask. Because it was a 
version that Marco and I were working on and I think I am the only one 
that got a copy of it. It was never posted to the site. It does alot 
more with using external files, dealing with include files, and a few 
other things. It was something he modified for me for Lazarus needs.

I will checkout your current version of pasdoc and  compare it to what I 
have and see about merging my changed into your code. I doubt it will be 
that difficult. I'll let you know how it goes.
