Overview
LuaDocumentor allow users to generate HTML documentation and API files from some code documented using Lua documentation language. The generated HTML is similar to ldoc. It means you can probably reuse an existing ldoc CSS with virtually no modifications. The other output of LuaDocumentor is API files, an API file for a module is the original file, without the code with only the Lua document language. This is use to expose API without exposing the code. This mode is largely used to create Execution Environements.
LuaDocumentor is based on popular lua libraries : lfs, metalua, lapp and template from penlight.
Sources are available on GitHub: https://github.com/LuaDevelopmentTools/luadocumentor.
How to install it
$ luarocks install --local luadocumentor

- -d, --dir (default docs) Define an output directory. If the given directory doesn't exist, it will be created.
- -h, --help Display the help.
- -n, --noheuristic Do not use code analysis, use only comments to generate documentation.
- -s, --style (default !) The path of your own css file, if you don't want to use the default one. (usefull only for the doc format)
- [directories|files] Define the paths or the directories of inputs files. Only Lua or C files containing a @module tag will be considered.
Examples

$ luadocumentor -f api -d /tmp/output file1.lua file2.lua
$ luadocumentor -f doc -d /tmp/output -s my.css /tmp/directory /tmp/file.lua
