This is the code used to generate documentation for erlang projects in the format of erldocs.com

Erlang/OTP ≥ R13B04

git clone https://github.com/erldocs/erldocs.git erldocs.git
cd erldocs.git/
make -j

An escript called erldocs will thus be generated.

Mind the space around the flags!

erldocs  [-o ‹output dir›]  ‹source path›⁺

Calling the script to generate documentation for the application in the current working directory: this documentation will be output to "./doc/erldocs".

./erldocs .

Additional arguments can specify the location to source files to be documented

./erldocs path/to/erlang/otp/lib/* path/to/erlang/erts

You can specify the output directory with the -o flag

./erldocs -o path/to/output path/to/erlang/otp/lib/* path/to/erlang/erts

Include files are automatically found, wherever they are inside my_app

./erldocs my_app/ -o my_app/doc/

To build Erlang|OTP's docs the same way erldocs.com builds them:

./otp.sh otp_src_17.0/
