New Software Documentation Tool

Yesterday I published the first beta release of a software documentation tool I developed which I named Code Extractor. It is inspired by ProgDoc but is much simpler. ProgDoc is designed to work with LaTeX and performs source highlighting. This also means it needs to know the source language it is dealing with.

Code Extractor, on the other hand, is designed to work with Asciidoc or Quickbook, both of which can do their own source code highlighting, so there is no need for Code Extractor to do it.

When I registered the project at BerliOS I made a typo and skipped the 'r', so the project is http://developer.berlios.de/projects/codeextactor/. I hope you find it useful.
