Hi,

Yesterday, I had to deliver documentation for a small project and I decided to use an old tool of mine, which generates documentation from my scripts automatically. The customer asked me to to add extensive comments to the scripts, to I thought I could use these comments to make the docs.

Today I improved the tool a little and added it to the sponsored download section of my company's website. It is a really simple tool and it hardly requires any special way of scripting. All you need to know is that comments in /* and */ immediately preceding a handler, without white line, are assumed to be descriptions of that handler. In-line comments are added in a separate paragraph for each handler.

Probably it is much more clear if you look at the pictures. Have a look at

and let me know what you think of it.

I have also updated the Graphic Gradient Button, which you can find at
http://www3.economy-x-talk.com/file.php?node=graphic-gradient-button

The button now uses the extStatus instead of the status property. I'm a little sad that I don't have complete freedom about handler names like I had in HyperCard, but I guess we've to deal with it. I have also changed a little glitch, which prevented resizing of the small version of the buttons. The buttons now work as expected again.
