Documentation Insight V1.2.3 Released

Documentation Insight is an add-in which helps you visually read and write xml documentation in Delphi IDE. Now the V1.2.3 is released with several improvements.

The following snapshots illustrate the main changes:

As you can see in the snapshot, the focused editable element will be highlighted. When you enable the new “Automatically save documentation” option, the documentation will be automatically updated and inserted into the source code whenever there is any change. There is also a Fold (Collapse) button in the toolbar which can fold all documentation regions in the source code.

More options (as well as customizable documentation styles) are provided in this version:

General Options

In the Documentation page, you can customize your documentation styles especially the region directives.

Note:

1. When you selected one style and then pressed the OK button, the style will be active and it will be applied when documentation is saved. (You can also select the active style by clicking the drop down menu of the Tools button in the toolbar)

2. There must be a ‘%S’ in the start region directive where the argument “%S” will be filled with the caption determined by the caption style.

3. You can quickly change the current active documentation style by select one style in the drop-down menu of the main editor tools button.

4. Integration with customized Help Insight template will be available in the next version.

5. All options are shared by all IDEs now
