inidoc

The inidoc project is a software tool contributed with LayManSys and is primarily used for configuring documentation files in a format called INI. This file format is commonly found in configuration files under MS Windows or by PHP web applications. inidoc uses specific comments in INI files and generates DocBook XML output, making documentation tasks more efficient and easier.

To use inidoc, you need to specify at least one input file for generating the program output, and the output is sent to the standard output. This means that you can also pipe the output into a file, which provides added flexibility and enables you to use inidoc as a web service.

The programs output format is in DocBook XML, where each INI file is documented within a

. Normal text is placed into tags, and key-value pairs are described using . This approach makes it easy to navigate, understand, and process the documentation produced by inidoc. Whether you are a developer, a programmer, or a technical writer, this software can help you streamline your documentation process and make your work more efficient.
