Tools that can parse the Delphi XMLDoc format and create online help

Question

The XMLDoc API documentation tool is explained here:

http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/32770

Are there any free or commercial tools that can be used to create documentation based on the Delphi XML document format?

Is there a newer version of the Getting Started document? This page applies to Delphi 2005 and third-party tools, some of which seem to be moving around.

Requires XMLDoc for Delphi 2005

• Python (tested with Python 2.3)
• Instant Saxon (tested with Instant Saxon 6.5.3)
• Java SDK (tested with J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK)
• and Visual Studio Help Integration Kit

Answer 1

Departure:

• Help and Guide
• HelpScribble
• Doc-o-matic

These tools should be able to create help files and possibly also use XMLDoc as their input (both are compatible with Delphi or even written in Delphi).

Mark

Answer 2

This is not a direct answer, but if you want to use XMLDoc for your Delphi code, I highly recommend this open the plugin from CodeCentral . I just tested it in Delphi 2010 and it still works great.
