Hi,
as the question whether inline or external source docs are the way to go
(again?) came up, here are my thoughts (currently searching for the "best"
solution :) ):

I personally prefer external docs (and thus started to use fpdoc);
reasons are uncluttered source, less scrolling and (if you strictly limit
oneself to 80 chars per line) readability on small screens (mobile).
At the same time, I use short single (!) line comments to functions, very much
the way pasdoc would use them.

For sources in an early state (moving code around etc.) external documentation
is really annoying, for the detailed documentation of mature source inline
docs are simply unsuitable IMHO.

Well, I have planned a inline-to-external conversion for fpdoc for exactly this 
reason.

Michael.
