Unfortunately doxygen appears to be GPL instead of LGPL.  I don't think any
GPL should be standardized as that would remove Ruby from the commercial
world.

Hi.

I just played around with some inline documentation systems like javadoc,
doxygen, rdtool and others. Do we really need yet another one with rdtool?

I wourd suggest to put all effort in one inline documentations system like
doxygen and then to just add support for new languages to this system.
doxygen
for example is already able to handle different languages and there are
already feature requests to support even more languages. So why not just put
Ruby support in doxygen and throw rdtool away?

For doxygen have a look at

and especally at
