+Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, Java, IDL (Corba, Microsoft and
+KDE-DCOP flavors) and C.
+
+It can help you in three ways:
+
+ 1. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an
+ off-line reference manual (in LaTeX) from a set of documented source
+ files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word),
+ PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The
+ documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it
+ much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
+
+ 2. Doxygen can be configured to extract the code structure from
+ undocumented source files. This can be very useful to quickly find your
+ way in large source distributions. The relations between the various
+ elements are be visualized by means of include dependency graphs,
+ inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all
+ generated automatically.
+
+ 3. You can even `abuse' doxygen for creating normal documentation
