jsdoc-to-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from jsdoc-annotated javascript
Generates markdown API documentation from jsdoc annotated source code. Useful for injecting API docs into project README files. By default, dmd generates github-flavored markdown. Not all markdown parsers render gfm correctly. If your generated docs look incorrect on sites other than Github (e.g. npmjs.org) try enabling this option to disable Github-specific syntax. Two options to render parameter lists: 'list' or 'table' (default). Table format works well in most cases but switch to list if things begin to look crowded / squashed. By default, the output of each invocation of the main generation methods (render, getTemplateData etc) is stored in the cache (your system's temporary directory). Future jsdoc2md invocations with the same input options and source code will return the output immediately from cache, making the tool much faster/cheaper. If the input options or source code changes, fresh output will be generated. -

An API documentation generator for JavaScript
JSDoc 3 is an API documentation generator for JavaScript, similar to Javadoc or phpDocumentor. You add documentation comments directly to your source code, right alongside the code itself. The JSDoc tool will scan your source code and generate an HTML documentation website for you. JSDoc's purpose is to document the API of your JavaScript application or library. It is assumed that you will want to document things like modules, namespaces, classes, methods, method parameters, and so on. JSDoc comments should generally be placed immediately before the code being documented. Each comment must start with a /** sequence in order to be recognized by the JSDoc parser. Adding a description is simple, just type the description you want in the documentation comment. Once your code is commented, you can use the JSDoc 3 tool to generate an HTML website from your source files. -

a11y.css
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks and mistakes that exist in HTML code. It can also be used to roughly evaluate a site's quality by simply including it as an external stylesheet. When activating the stylesheet, a tip should appear beside each incriminated elements, displaying what’s going on. This file is not a replacement to a complete tool such as aXe, Tanaguru or Tenon. It only intends to show possible weaknesses. You should obviously do some manual check by hand to know whether the code should or should not be fixed. You can also use the form on the left sidebar to define the minimum level and language, in order to generate a custom bookmarklet. Then simply drag the green button to your bookmarks, and you're done! You're now able to use a11y.css on every page you visit by simply clicking on this bookmark. -
