A command line program that lets you automatically generate HTML and LaTeX documentation directly from your Pascal unit source code files. You might know this approach from javadoc, which comes with Sun's Java Development Kit. While HTML output is great for viewing documentation on a computer screen because of the availability of browsers for all kinds of computer platforms, LaTeX output is ideally suited for printed docs as you can easily convert it to high-quality PostScript (or PDF) output, which can then be given to all sorts of printing devices to get a reference manual. Pasdoc will scan the interface section of a unit, collecting all constants, variables, types, etc., taking a description of each item from the comment inserted before its declaration.
