You can add comments to your source files so that the comments are published to the ABLDoc document. While adding comments, you can use HTML tags as follows to structure the comments in the generated output:
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------
    File        : <h1><i>GenericDataExporter</i></h1>
    Purpose     :
    Syntax      :
    Description :
    Author(s)   : abc
    Created     : <pre>Tue Nov 19 21:16:10 CET</pre>
    Notes       :
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
Note: The comments that you add must be in the format that Developer Studio generates. To generate ABLDoc for any other format, use the ABL custom parser. For more information, see Customize tag parser.

The comment can have a tag section. You can also add tags to comments to add metadata. These tags are applicable only to methods, functions, and internal procedures. Place the tags after the main description. You can add the following tags:

  • @param: Adds a parameter with a specified name and description.
  • @return: Adds a return section to the document with the description that you provide.
