mdoc creates documentation in latex format out of comments in your source files. Special marked lines in the source code are extracted and converted to a documentation file. For an example of the generated documentation see the "m23 API reference" included in this document. mdoc can scan PHP and C/C++ files and other files that allow "/**" and "**/" for begin and end of comments or don't care about these kind of strings. If you want to use mdoc for files that don't allow these strings, put the comment sequence used for the file type before the mdoc lines. e.g. for BASH scripts you will put a '#' in front of each mdoc line:
#/**
#**name helloworld.sh
#**description shows a hello world
#**parameter none
#**/
echo hello world
