If we must go with Windows, you could use editpad instead of notepad… personally, I kinda like gedit under Linux, but even VIM has a Windows port… :tongue:
Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors), Fortran, VHDL, PHP, C#, and to some extent D.
It can help you in three ways:
1. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in $\mbox{\LaTeX}$) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code. 2. You can configure doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. This is very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically. 3. You can even `abuse' doxygen for creating normal documentation (as I did for this manual).

I'm sorry, I meant an HTML doc generator. Doxygen is alright, I've tried it. I was just wondering about alternatives.
As for alternatives, it would turn out that wikipedia is again the savour of the world. take a look at this page to see a comparison of many free and not so free tools.
I cannot really speak for others, but i personally do not use anything. I think Tyche uses rdoc for his ruby code as i have seen some pretty good output on his website. Other than that you might need to frame the question in such a way as to invite others to comment.
