I use Delphi7 + Gexperts. There is xdoc(xml method document) macro template in Gexperts. I know that we can export that comment format to help file directly. But I don't know which tool can do this. Can anyone tell me something? thanks first.

For the D8-D2006 command line compilers, "dcc32 --doc" should generate an XML file. There is an equivalent IDE project option in the GUI. You should be able to use http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/ or your own XSLT transform to make a help file from the XML.

But I find it is for Vs.net project. I really don't know how to use it on Delphi7 project. "Erik Berry" <eb (AT) techie (DOT) ZZZcom> wrote Quote: tamsun wrote: I use Delphi7 + Gexperts.

NDoc is not VS.Net specific, since it works with any .NET assembly, but Delphi 7 does not support .NET or XML documentation, as I mentioned. You need to upgrade to a newer Delphi release to get a new compiler that generates the xml documentation, or use a tool like GenHelp Pro, which might be able to read XML comments directly from the source.

The --doc switch produces XML that is not compatible with nDoc. That's a real bummer. -- Nick Hodges -- TeamB Dunn Solutions Group -- http://www.dunnsolutions.com Read my Blog -- http://www.lemanix.com/nickblog Back to top Nick Hodges [TeamB] Guest Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:46 pm    Post subject: Re: how to use xml method document in Gexperts?

The better solution is to have the Delphi compiler produce compatible XML, or for there to be an applet that transforms what the dccil compiler does produce into something that NDoc can consume. There was an effort afoot to do that latter, but I don't know it's status. -- Nick Hodges -- TeamB Dunn Solutions Group -- http://www.dunnsolutions.com Read my Blog -- http://www.lemanix.com/nickblog Back to top Erik Berry Guest Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 11:30 pm    Post subject: Re: how to use xml method document in Gexperts?

The last time I used the XML feature with nDoc was probably in C#Builder 1, which had a completely different XML generation system, of course. GenHelp and similar tools might be the best option if one doesn't want to transform the XML manually using XSLT, etc. Erik Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Thirdparty Tools (General) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
