1gen_manual - a program for automatic generation of manual from source code
2==========================================================================
3
4#### Introduction
5
6This simple C++ program generates a single-page HTML manual from `lz4.h`.
7
8The format of recognized comment blocks is following:
9- comments of type `/*!` mean: this is a function declaration; switch comments with declarations
10- comments of type `/**` and `/*-` mean: this is a comment; use a `<H2>` header for the first line
11- comments of type `/*=` and `/**=` mean: use a `<H3>` header and show also all functions until first empty line
12- comments of type `/*X` where `X` is different from above-mentioned are ignored
13
14Moreover:
15- `LZ4LIB_API` is removed to improve readability
16- `typedef` are detected and included even if uncommented
17- comments of type `/**<` and `/*!<` are detected and only function declaration is highlighted (bold)
