tfdocgen is a simple HTML documentation generator, which supports a
Doxygen-like (but not Doxygen-compatible) syntax for C/C++ code, and
maybe other languages which supports /** */ comments, I haven't tried.
It was written by the previous maintainer over a decade ago, I have
barely modified it. The files it produces are packaged in the -dev packages.
Bye,
Lionel Debroux.
