What tool do AutoIt developers use to document their Helpfile?

The UDF help files are created this way:

The function header files are extracted from the UDF file by a script named "BuildTemplates", a script named "Txt2htm" then creates the html help files.

I don't know how the CHM files are then created from this html files.

The formating of the html help files is controlled by CSS templates.

This is no longer true. The function headers are out of date and will be removed at some point. The TXT files are maintained directly.

don't know how up2date this all is but here is some source code for the tools. last updated Dec 12, 2011

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-docs-v3.3.7.23-src.exe

Wrong folder, 7.23 is in the beta (parent folder), not beta archive. And then there is the question why you would try to link someone to a old version instead of the current.

Archive > autoit-docs-v3.3.8.0-src.exe (seventh from top)

I am a huge fan of doxygen, and use it in several projects.

Though from what you say you are less concerned about how the docs are generated and more concerned with their looks... Which *shouldn't* have anything to do with the generation itself. Doxygen I know allows for you to specify CSS files etc.
