Abap doc generation

koen_boutsen — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 10:11:12 GMT

Hello

I'm writing abap doc documentation in eclipse for all my class methods. Is there a way to generate an html document with all that documentation. Ideal would be that the creation could be done for certain packages.

Thank you

Koen

I have not found any evidence such tool exists to extract all the comments or generate a single document for the package.

Perhaps horst.keller would have different information.

Not sure it'd make a lot of sense though since the purpose of ABAP Doc seems to document specific code. As a developer, I just don't see much use for the package-wide document. This is usually needed to documents, for example, relationship between different pieces or just to provide an overview. And I doubt gathering together all the comments would offer that.

Did you search? For instance, this post by Michael Schneider -> https://blogs.sap.com/2015/10/21/new-abap-doc-features-with-netweaver-75/

"In this blog, I would like to explain to you how you can export your ABAP Doc from the ABAP system and how you can synchronize your ABAP Doc comments with the short text descriptions in classes, interfaces and function modules. I hope you like these two new features which are available with SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.5."

Thank you! It's strange I did not see it. Maybe was using wrong keywords, hm...
