Natural Docs is an open-source documentation generator for multiple programming languages. You document your code in a natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML documentation from it. SourceForge houses the source code and issue database for the old Perl version of Natural Docs, version 1.52. It is still available but no longer being updated. Please see NaturalDocs.org for the 2.x source code and issue database. However, you can still download the both the old and the new 2.x releases of Natural Docs here.

docToolchain is a toolkit built around the “docs as code” philosophy, designed to make writing, maintaining, and publishing technical documentation as smooth as software development itself. It provides a suite of scripts and integrations to generate documentation from AsciiDoc (and related formats), run automated checks, incorporate diagrams, and publish outputs in different formats (HTML, PDF, etc.). The framework encourages documentation and architecture artifacts to live alongside source code, versioned in the same repositories, so changes in code and docs can evolve together. It supports templates (such as the arc42 architecture template), reusable snippets, and modular documentation where different aspects (API docs, architecture, user guides) are composed. The toolchain also includes validation stages (e.g. sanity checks, broken link detection) to catch issues before publication.
