Hey guys
I am currently trying out Xojo and was wondering if there’s some kind of implementation of doc strings in Xojo.
I come from a C#/Python background and used it a lot. With doc strings you can add more extensive help and also generate a document from it which will be very useful.
Here is a link of the concept in C#
Take a look at XJDocs by @Paul Messias. It’s still in alpha and has not been updated in a while but it works fine
It will generate HTML documents as output.

(If this is what you’re looking for that is)
Wow, XJDocs is an awesome tool. Wish I knew about it earlier…

It is! @Paul Messias deserves some kudos!
Thank you, that is what I was looking for. Great work @Paul Messias
You also have XojoDoc by Jeremy Jeremy Cowgar
https://github.com/jcowgar/xojodoc
Jeremy and Paul met at XDC2015 and were surprised to see the other project.
They have slightly different approaches, but both are good.
Jeremy produces a AsiiDoc format which can then be translated to many formats including HTML, PDF, EPUB, man page…

You can always look to see what suits you best. Nice to have options.
Never heard of XojoDoc but I’ll take a look at it
If I could. 2013r33 was too old and I don’t want to go through the code to make it work
Can’t you use his release?

There’s a release for OSX, one for Windows and one for Linux.
That way you don’t need to compile the source yourself.
I think then you won’t need anything newer than 2013r33.
Haven’t tried this though.
