[[edoc]]
== EDoc comments
Erlang.mk provides a thin wrapper on top of EDoc, an application
that generates documentation based on comments found in modules.
=== Writing EDoc comments
The http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/edoc/chapter.html[EDoc user guide]
explains everything you need to know about EDoc comments.
=== Configuration
The `EDOC_OPTS` variable allows you to specify additional
EDoc options. Options are documented in the
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/edoc.html#run-2[EDoc manual].
A common use for this variable is to enable Markdown in doc
comments, using the `edown` application:
[source,make]
DOC_DEPS = edown
EDOC_OPTS = {doclet, edown_doclet}
=== Usage
To build all documentation, you would typically use:
[source,bash]
$ make docs
Do note, however, that EDoc comments will only be generated
automatically if the 'doc/overview.edoc' file exists. If you
do not want that file and still want to generate doc comments,
two solutions are available.
You can generate EDoc documentation directly:
[source,bash]
$ make edoc
You can enable automatic generation on `make docs` by adding
the following to your Makefile:
[source,make]
----
docs:: edoc
