RDoc is the default embedded documentation generator for Ruby. Rdoc generates structured documentation that can be accessed via a web browser or the command-line by analyzing the code and specially formatted comments. Even in the absence of comments, rdoc will generate documentation using a programs structure.
RDoc analyzes Ruby source code to generate documentation. In the absence of comments, Rdoc uses the programs structure to produce documentation. With comments, which can be specially formatted using RDoc Markup, RDoc can create very detailed and useful documentation. Documentation generated via rdoc is accessible through the command line using ri. The RDoc Project's source code repository is hosted via github. RDoc was designed by Dave Thomas.
