Author content in Javadoc source code comments
Document! X will use any Javadoc format source comments where they are available - including all of the standard comment types defined in the Javadoc specification as well as any additional comment types that you define.
Author documentation content in a Document! X Content File
You can also author content outside of Java source code if you wish, or combine both approaches and have some content in Javadoc source XML comments and some in Document! X Content Files.
This approach is quite common as it allows technical writers to contribute more extensive content or examples, or override content defined in source comments for editorial reasons, without stopping developers from documenting in the source.
The Content File editor includes dynamic spell check, hyperlink designer and designers for example code, permissions, exceptions, index keywords etc.
Lightbox Content File Editor
In combination with, or as an alternative to authoring content in Javadoc source code comments, create and maintain documentation content using the Document! X Content File Editor.
