Page 7 of 7 )
And
that's about it from me. As you can see, tools such as the ones discussed in
this article can substantially reduce the time you spend documenting your
code...so long as you remember to comment your code correctly. If you can manage
that - and you should be able to - then say goodbye to those long hours writing
API documentation, and say hello to the brave new world of PHPDoc and its
brethren.
