docco VS sphinx

i have seen those in annotated javascript documentation. but it was the other way around. (comment on the left, and code on the right).

they all seem to use docco[0] with the option to display comment in "parallel". the author of docco used it in their library underscore[1].

Side note - it's been a while since i've seen a Docco-style annotated-source-style documentation! http://ashkenas.com/docco/

Backbone.js was the first time i saw it, and I loved it! https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html It demonstrated to me that the libraries I use are just normal code that other people write, and i myself can read it to understand a problem.

Sphinx is primarily known as a documentation generator, but it can also be used to create static websites. It excels in generating technical documentation, and its support for multiple output formats, including HTML and PDF, makes it a versatile tool. Sphinx uses reStructuredText for content creation and is highly extensible through plugins.

Sphinx a documentation generator or a tool that translates a set of plain text source files into various output formats, automatically producing cross-references, indices, etc. That is, if you have a directory containing a bunch of reStructuredText or Markdown documents, Sphinx can generate a series of HTML files, a PDF file (via LaTeX), man pages and much more.

Notable mentions to [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/). It's workflow is more tuned to the "book" format rather than the blog, forum or thread format.

Currently trying out Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) and the trying to get the autodocgen feature to see what that can do.

So, I've documented my code and now I need a .PDF with this documentation. Is there any easy way to do it? Once I used Sphinx but it generated a not so easy .TeX.

AutoPyTabs allows you to write code examples in your documentation targeting a single version of Python and then generates examples targeting higher Python versions on the fly, presenting them in tabs, using popular tabs extensions. This all comes packaged as a markdown extension, MkDocs plugin and a Sphinx, so it can easily be integrated with your documentation workflow.

Honestly, I think it's just an issue of documentation. For example, if there was an easier way to document @overload functions, that would help (cf. https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/7787)

We use sphynx for our pipeline documentation for all technical details Classes , packages and functions docstrings using reStructuredText (reST) format

I like Sphinx [0] with the MyST Markdown syntax [1]. There is a related project, Myst NB [2], which enables including Jupyter notebooks in your site. There is also a plugin for blogging [3].

Sphinx is the go-to tool for documentation. It took me a while to understand how to use Sphinx, but I now have a decent workflow with MyST which allows me to write all the docs in markdown. My sphinx-markdown-docs repo shows an example of what I do.
