I am creating a MATLAB package using object-oriented programming. I have documented my classes according to a tutorial from MathWorks website. This standard of documentation, however, only works for doc and help commands, but not when I use publish. For example, properties, which have their description written in front of their declaration, don't have said declaration exported to HTML. There is no list of properties or methods at the beginning of the file, so that users can quickly skip to those. Lastly, documentation has to be read directly from the comments in the code, instead of being parsed to HTML.
When I try to add some HTML documentation inside my classes to publish them, the code also appears on doc and help, which is an undesired behavior. Is there a way to create class documentation so that properties and methods can be published to the Web? I've had experience with doc generators like Sphinx (Python) and Doxygen (many languages), in which the descriptions of classes, methods and properties are parsed to HTML so they can be published in places like Read the Docs or GitHub Pages so I am curious to know if MATLAB has something like that.
You can give a try to MTOC++ which uses Doxygen, therefore produces the standard Doxygen HTML documentation.
I have used it already to generate source code documentation for Matlab project containing standard Matlab functions, old class definitions with # notation and classes defined by classdef mixed, and it worked after some tailoring.
This somewhat larger project allows to create documentation for MatLab
files and classes (including packages) using a doxygen filter named
mtoc++. Moreover, a tool/class named MatlabDocMaker allows to create
the documentation from within MatLab. For Windows, Mac and Unix!
You can find it also on Mathworks File Exchange and you can find the documentation here.
One widely-used way to provide HTML documentation for MATLAB functions/class is the M2HTML project. It will automatically generate HTML documentation complete with dependency graphs, source code, and syntax highlighting.

I am quite new to Mediawiki and am trying to get templates work.
I managed to get a simple one working but the templates are shown in a weird way but no error is provided.
I looked at your template:
http://wordpress-251650-782015.cloudwaysapps.com/index.php?title=Template:Cita_conferenza
And it invokes a LUA module:
http://wordpress-251650-782015.cloudwaysapps.com/wiki/Modulo:Citazione
You can read more information about using this module on
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo:Citazione

A bit late, but you may still be interested...
If you want to copy a template from Wikipedia, but it is using lua modules, you can look in the history tab to find pre-lua versions that use only wikicode (lua has been implemented in 2013 in Wikipedia, but some templates have been given modules later).
Here, it seems to be this version
Be careful, however, if the template you are copying uses subtemplates (this does not seem to be the case here).
If this is the case, you should either make copies of the templates with the same name and code, or add their code to the main template, paying attention to the parameter names which will need to be adapted.
Good luck.
I've been using AsciiDocs to write all my documentation, and i was wondering if i could take it a step further and generate the html from my source code, like how JavaDoc does with Java source code.
For example, JavaDoc allows the developer to leave in-line comments that will later be used to generate the html documentation. Is this possible with AsciiDocs? Or do I just need to write the documentation separately?
Javadoc is somewhat modular and extensible: you can use a custom formatting syntax in javadoc comments if you generate the documentation with a custom "doclet".
For AsciiDoc, such a doclet already exists: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoclet
Javadoc is specific to Java, if you use other programming languages there are other tools. Doxygen was created specially for C and C++ but it supports several programming languages and comment styles. For Python, there is pydoc. Whether there's a way to make these support AsciiDoc syntax, you'll have to investigate on your own.
I have spent the days looking for an Opensource JavaDoc editor or a way to edit JavaDocs easily or creating package-info files and come back empty.
I am basically after a way to change the way the packages are listed. The automation framework I work on is undergoing some potential future changes. These changes in a nutshell will organise our test scripts in a way where they are split up into business areas and then into smaller packages of business functions within that area.
We use IntelliJ and the default JavaDoc generator creates the JavaDocs in a way where it makes a list of all the packages, what I want to do is have it create a list of the main packages (business areas) and then the sub packages within that contain our test scripts (business functions).
For example:
BusinessAreaOne contain BusinessFunctionOne, BusinessFunctionTwo and BusinessFunctionThree.
BusinessAreaTwo Contains BusinessFunctionFour and BusinessFunctionFive.
The BusinessFunction packages in turn contain scripts that cover just that business function.
I haven't been able to find an editor that does what I would like and I don't think editing the files manually is practical each time there is an update.
If there is no opensource java editor can do this are there any suggestions of a work around?
As I mentioned I have tried creating package-info files but as far as I can tell you can only add a description to that package. Is there any tutorials out there or does anybody know a way I can get it to display the list of packages within the selected package?
Thanks in advance.
Javadoc doesn't treat package hierarchies as nested hierarchies, it just flattens them all into a list, as you probably noticed, so your business functions will just appear as entries in the list between the business areas.
Looking for a Javadoc editor is not going to help you because the Javadocs you end up with is the output from the Javadoc compilation process, and there's no specific tag you can put in your code that will influence the compilation process in the way you're looking for.
You would have to write something to override Javadoc's implementation of its HTML formatter specifically for the package list using:
Javadoc Doclets
You can customize the content and format of the Javadoc tool's output by using doclets. The Javadoc tool has a default "built-in" doclet, called the standard doclet, that generates HTML-formatted API documentation. You can modify or subclass the standard doclet, or write your own doclet to generate HTML, XML, MIF, RTF or whatever output format you'd like. Information about doclets and their use is at the following locations:
Javadoc Doclets
You would use your own implementation of the Standard Doclet, finding the right class to override - try looking first at the PackageDoc class. I'm going through this learning process myself at the moment, but here's the info on Doclet and there's a link at the bottom of that page to the source code which will illustrate how to do it.
Of course there could be an easier way of doing it and if I discover it I'll come back to update this answer.
How can I set PHPStorm/Webstorm's integrated quick documentation to ignore a specific library/file?
For example, my project folder contains several revisions of a JS library (all with JSDoc comments). I would like the quick documentation to ignore all but one. Is this possible?
Also, two libraries might have the same class defined, and it would be extremely beneficial to at least be able to specify which library should be suppressed in the quick documentation list.
You can set which js libraries will be used for any folder of your project in Preferences->JavaScript Libraries->Usage Scope
I am designing a class library designed to solve a wide scope of problems. One thing about this library is that it will be usable by several different languages and environments natively. For example, there will be a C++ version written entirely in C++, a .NET version written in C# and a Java version written in Java, without any dependencies on each other... as opposed to writing the core library in C++ and simply providing .NET and Java bindings to it.
The library in each of its different forms sets out to solve a different but sometimes very similar set of problems. For example, there might be many classes whose members will be functionally identical in each language, and there will also be many classes that will be present in only one or two language-versions of the library, but not the others. Take a class or struct representing a program's version number. .NET already has such as class (System.Version) so I would not include it in my .NET version but the C++ and Java libraries would provide one.
The problem I am facing is that for classes which will exist in most or all versions of the library, the documentation will remain relatively the same (obviously). The brief text for both the C++ and Java version for a Version struct would be something like "Represents a software version number in the form major.minor.build.revision"... as would the detailed class description, and all the members' documentation, etc. As you know, .NET, Java and C++ all have their own documentation syntax. Is there any way I can attempt to consolidate documentation in a language-neutral way (WITHOUT writing the documentation separately from the source code - e.g. manual documentation as opposed to generating it using doxygen/sandcastle/javadoc) or am I stuck copying and pasting the same text into the source files of each version?
I was having the same issues and decided there were just two options for me:
Using the same documentation generator in all languages. If you use doxygen (or ROBODoc, or whatever) for all of them, you would have just one doc syntax for all languages. This means that you have to break with language-specific conventions, though.
Write your own doc parser. Which is hard work, especially for a language with quite complex syntactic rules (as C++.)
We are currently using doxygen for such projects.
