Documentation generation using CanDyDOC
If you want to use CanDyDOC for documentation generation, you need to create a ddoc file that contains the list of modules. Visual D can automatically create this file. Here is how you can setup a project:
- Create the documentation directory and copy the candydoc directory from the distribution into the documentation directory.
- Add the file candy.ddoc from the candydoc directory to the project.
- On the documentation configuration page, enable documentation, set the documentation directory
- Specify a CanDyDOC module file that is generated by Visual D
