History

This library was originally written by David Turner as docmaker which collected and presented documentation in HTML. It has since been modified multiple times, including a major refactor to allow multiple output formats. The current docwriter is the biggest rewrite, with lots of changes, additions etc. that allow it to be more flexible, readable, maintainable and usable.
