The good folks at Gimp (Or maybe it was Gnome) came up with a
good tool that works similar to javadoc, except on c++ code.
I can't remember the name right now, but I like it's results.
I use it at work, so will try to remember to look up it's name
and let you all know. Though I probably won't be contributing
much to DevMUD, I'll put my meagre vote in for plain-text docs.
Write tools to generate the html/postscript or whatever from that
plain text if need be.
