NAME

       eric7_doc - eric7 documentation generator

SYNOPSIS

       eric7_doc [options] files...

       where files can be be either Python modules, package directories or ordinary directories.

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the eric7_doc command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.   Instead,  it  has  documentation
       provided in the file /usr/share/doc/eric/README-eric7-doc.txt.gz in plain text format.

       eric7_doc  is  the documentation generator of the eric7 IDE. Source code documentation may be included as
       ordinary Python  doc-strings  or  as  documentation  comments.  For  Quixote  Template  file  (PTL)  only
       documentation  comments  are available due to the inner workings of Quixote. Documentation comments start
       with the string ###, followed by the contents and ended by ###. Every line of the documentation  comments
       contents must start with a # (see example below).
