src2wwww takes source code as input, and produces formatted listings in html. It also produces alphabetical indexes of declarations, within each file and for a set of files. Works for Ada83, Ada95, Ansi C, and some simple C++. Versions producing FrameMaker documents are also available. Contact: young@cs.purdue.edu ( Michal Young)

C

• GLOBAL is a C (and Yacc) source code tag system for Unix that includes an HTML generator. Contact: shigio@wafu.netgate.net (Shigio Yamaguchi)
• The Ext System extracts function declarations and documentation from specially-commented C code to produce HTML documentation. It's written in perl. Contact: sedwards@eecs.berkeley.edu (Stephen Edwards).
• src2html takes a C source tree and creates a set of HTML hypertext documents that allows the most important symbols in it to be found easily. Contact: wkt@cs.adfa.oz.au (Warren Toomey)
• c2html takes a C program and produces html with function calls linked to their instantiations. Contact: geoffw@jumper.mcc.ac.uk (Geoff Winkless)
• C2HTML is DOS shareware. It reads C files and builds HTML files containing listings and functions/variables/types dictionaries. It produces cross references pages for functions and files. Contact: hugoyar@mindless.com (Hugues-Olivier Yar).
• ctohtml (No external refs for filter). Contact: sbakke@xcuseme.mitre.org (Steven M. Bakke)
• Cocoon (see below) extracts documentation Web pages from C or C++ header files.
• ctoohtml (see below) HTMLizes C/C++ source and header files.
• The Linux Cross-Reference Project offers a general hypertext cross-referencing tool for relatively large code repositories. It consists of an indexer written in perl, plus cgi scripts for navigation. Contact: lxr@linux.no (Arne Georg Gleditsch and Per Kristian Gjermshus)

C++

• DOC++ is a documentation system for C++ generating both LaTeX and HTML output directly from C++ header files. Contacts: zoeckler@zib-berlin.de (Malte Zoeckler), wunderling@zib.de (Roland Wunderling)
• Object Outline from Bumblebee Software generates documentation for C++ projects in HTML or RTF. It combines the source code, comments in the source code, and any external documentation into a hypertext meta document. Free beta now available.
• c++2html builds an html file for each C++ header file, with class cross references. No special tags within C++ code necessary. Contact: stefans@bauv.unibw-muenchen.de (Stefan Schwarz)
• Another c++2html to convert ANSI-C++ programs into HTML source is derived from Norbert Kiesel's c++2latex. Available for download. (For information about how to compile it see file README.c++2latex. Contact: dimka@tochna.technion.ac.il (Dimitry Kloper).
• Note: the c++2html of Joe VanAndel <vanandel@ncar.ucar.edu> is no longer maintained: the author uses DOC++
• cxx2html is a Perl script to convert C++ code to HTML. The information extracted from the class declarations is used to create a class summary with links to the member function documentation and to the documentation for the classes which are parameters to the member functions. Contact: drs@nrao.edu (Darrell Schiebel).
• Cocoon extracts information from C or C++ source code, including member definitions and inheritance data, and combines it with the documentation you provide to produce visually attractive, navigable, and content-rich documentation pages. Contact: jkotula@unimax.com (Jeff Kotula)
• ObjectManual from ObjectSoftware Inc. generates C++ Class documentation in HTML format. HyperLinks for methods, base classes are also generated.
• ctoohtml is a c/C++ filter that HTMLizes source and header files. Function and macro definitions are automatically anchored, and references to these definitions are hyperlinked. In addition, the user may include HTML markup within the code. Contact: fagg@delusion.cs.umass.edu (Andy Fagg)
• The Qt GUI developers toolkit from Troll Tech has an automatic document generator using C++ source and header files to produce HTML, man pages and Postscript.
• The OSE tools for C++ developers has documentation extraction tools to generate man pages or Frame documents from class header files: there is a tool to convert man pages into HTML.
• See also the COOLight project.
• See also the ROOT project which has automatic HTML document generation for C++.
• See also src2www above

Pascal

• pas2html converts Pascal source code to HTML documents. Contact: jola@ts.umu.se (Johan Larsson)

Ada

• Ada2html takes a set of Ada source files and generates a set of HTML files. These are the Ada source files with a large number of hypertext links added to them, so users can walk around the Ada source using the links. Contact: wheeler@ida.org (David A. Wheeler)
• See also src2www above

Fortran

• Floppy (Latest version has HTML generation). Contact: Julian.Bunn@cern.ch.
• See also the LIGHT project

Lisp

• Lisp2Html hyperizes LISP code and allows you to view it from multiple points of view (functions, objects, etc). Contact: memetral@media.mit.edu (Max Metral)

Erlang

• erl2html takes one or more Erlang files and converts them to HTML where each function call has a link to its definition. Contact: erlang@erix.ericsson.se

Literate programming, CASE and program development tools etc

Some literate programming systems will generate HTML. See for instance the nuweb system.

hgrind is a program based on vgrind that processes program listings into HTML. It processes a variety of languages, including C, C++, Pascal, and FORTRAN. There is the added capability of embedding HTML so that the listing can be its own documentation. Contact: ndborko@texas.net (Nick Borko).
