lua2dox – Auto-documentation of lua code

The pack­age ex­tends the well-known C-like lan­guage autodoc tool, doxy­gen, to read and doc­u­ment lua code.
In use, you edit and test your code and pe­ri­od­i­cally run the autodoc tool to up­date the doc­u­men­ta­tion, which may be viewed via an html browser.
Autodoc tools can read the code well enough to find func­tion/... dec­la­ra­tions and doc­u­ment them. If the code also con­tains ap­pro­pri­atly for­mat­ted “magic com­ments”, the tool can use them to sup­ple­ment the doc­u­men­ta­tion.
The pack­age is a first pro­to­type of a planned TeX2DoX tool (in de­vel­op­ment), which will pro­cess joint (La)TeX/lua doc­u­ments.
