MkDoxy

MkDoxy -> MkDocs + Doxygen. Easy documentation with code snippets.

Based on matusnovak/doxybook

This python tool is extension for MkDocs. Extension will take your programme source code and runs Doxygen. Than converts exported XML into markdown and create new folder with full generated documentation. Next usage is by snippets inside documentation markdown.

Example usage

  1. Generate class with name rb::MotorChangeBuilder 

    ::: doxy.Class
    name: rb::MotorChangeBuilder

  2. Generate method brake (MotorId id, uint16_t brakingPower) from class with name rb::MotorChangeBuilderA 

    ::: doxy.Class.Method
    name: rb::MotorChangeBuilder
    method: brake (MotorId id, uint16_t brakingPower)

  3. Generate function with name readUltra (bool async) 

    ::: doxy.Function
    name: readUltra (bool async)

  4. Generate code snippet from file RBCXLeds.cpp 

    ::: doxy.Code
    file: RBCXLeds.cpp
    start: 21
    end: 35
