Is there a unit for documentation in Pascal? The only documenter I know is Natural Docs, which is not a pascal unit but something I use across multiple languages.

A unit ? What do you want with a unit ? The documentation (fpdoc) is generated using an external tool (fpdoc) which is of course written using FPC. All units for this are in the directory utils/fpdoc of the FPC sources.

A docs unit? Could you be a little more specific as to what you are what to accomplish with a 'docs' unit?

I assume he expects all documentation tools are in comments, like Natural Docs and Doxygen. However the FPC project uses fpdoc which keeps the documentation out-of-source.

If sb really wants in-source docs, he can search for "pasdoc".

Marco thanks, that is what I was looking for. I come from python, php, and java so commenting API within source is what I'm accustomed to.
