No I didn't mean generate code as such - just those parts needed for the documentation. But I agree - having thought about it some more - it might well not be that simple.

The major difference with Paul's is that the heart of the tool is a scan and store engine that places all the information in a database. The presentation layers he provides (one in CGIDEV2 and one in PHP) are simply demonstrations of what can be done to customize the output. i.e. there is no fixed output (other than the database) you can do what you want. This means that if all you want to do is run queries over the data with SQL you can do so at any time.

It occurs to me as I write this, that one could simply generate "Javascript" ( or "C++" or whatever ) from Paul's database and then run whatever documentation tool-du-jour you happen to prefer from the available OS offerings.

If you mean generate actual JavaScript code or actual C++ code, I
don't think it's as simple as you make it sound. However, the database
would indeed be super-handy and flexible, and very adaptable to
various presentation layers.

From what I can gather, this is pretty close to the best-case scenario
for using Sphinx with RPG. But of course I'd check out Paul's included
presentation layers first, as those would be easiest of all.
