Which comments documentation format is better for JavaScript?

Question

Is there are any comments documentation format for JavaScript and processor for this format which generates HTML documentation?

Currently I am using VSDoc xml comments for providing IntelliSense help at developing time, but as I know there is no documentation generator for such comments. So alternatively my question may sounds like: Is there are any utility which translates VSDoc comments from JavaScript files to HTML?

Answer 1

Have you looked at auto generated documentation from JavaDoc or VSDoc or JSDoc or anything like that.

They are all ugly and un-readable.

The solution is two fold

• annotate your code with docco
• Make your API documentation hand written.

There is a third option which is to revolutionize the way we do auto generated documentation, if you can then please do.

Answer 2

I've used Natural Docs for a few projects. The syntax is nice for reading the inline, but since it doesn't have "full language support" for JavaScript, you have to be somewhat explicit about each function/constant/class/whatever you want to document.
