Merge: NaturalDocs into Natural Docs
editSimple, we don't need two articles about the same exact thing. 68.226.61.4 06:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Absolutely. It previously forwarded to Natural Docs because it's just a common way to write it. Someone changed it to a separate article and that should be undone. Greg10101 21:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Redirected other page, as this one is more complete and uses the author's preferred spelling. This shouldn't be controversial. Greg10101 21:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Naming other tools as negative examples
editIt has gained popularity amongst ActionScript 2.0 developers because no other free documentation generator exists that fully supports ActionScript 2.0 and because it generates higher-quality output than similar generators that partially support the language, such as ROBODoc.
This phrase names another tool as a negative, (or comparatively worse) example. The output quality of other tools is highy subjective and a matter of taste. I think this comparision is unfair and at least the names of other tools should be removed here.

I don't think that's true. That sentence specifically states 'similar generators that partially support the language', and /then/ gives the example of ROBODoc. Effectively it is saying that full language support results in better documentation generation (kind of obvious really) and gives an example of a program that has only partial language support. It's not saying that ROBODoc is worse, just that it doesn't have full language support for that particular language.
In that sense the sentence names a single feature of another tool as a comparatively worse than a particular feature of this program. I'm sure there are many examples of particular features in ROBODoc which are done better or more fully compared to Natural Docs and pointing them out isn't a bad thing, it helps users figure out which programs might fit their needs better.

Inaccurate statement about ActionScript?
editThe comment about a lack of documentation tools for ActionScript is incorrect I believe.
There has been an Adobe tool available for some time now (ASDoc[1]) which works with Javadoc-style comments to generate html documentation from source code. This tool is now Apache licensed[2] 89.197.45.90 (talk) 10:07, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
