I have been very busy too. It's writing all of this code that reminded me of the importance of leaving some documentation for the next guy. And since every keystroke counts, I figure if I'm going to enter comments for the next guy, why not put it in a productive form? Then, I remember Delphi supports XmlDoc, and I also remembered there being a free JavaDoc tool (DelphiCodeToDoc. There's also DelphiDoc.). Thus my quest began. I found a number of threads in Google groups, but no one received a satisfactory answer to what I'm asking here.

The general feel my research so far is "Go with XMLDoc and Doc-o-Matic." Doc-o-Matic is a nice tool, but I feel overpriced. GenHelp Pro is a bit more reasonable and supports XmlDoc and JavaDoc. It just seems in the Delphi world, JavaDoc or JavaDoc-like has more support.

The more I think about it, the more I think I will work with XmlDoc and GenHelp Pro. A free accessory for this combo is Ingvarius DelphiComments tool. Thanks Ingvar Nilsen!
