phpDox

phpDox parses PHP code, extracts code comments and generates API documentation in HTML format.

This can be very helpful in community-developed Web projects, where more then one person works with the source code and where a general style guide must be kept and permanently updated to help new users get acquainted with the previous work put in by other persons.

phpDox is quite an old project, being more than battle-tested and regularly updated to new PHP releases and with new features.

To create the documentation pages, phpDox uses technologies like DocBlock, XML, XSLT, PHP Parser, PHPMD, PHPUnit, and PHP_CodeSniffer.
