Which PHP API documentaton tool comes closest to JavaDoc?

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Which PHP API documentaton tool comes closest to JavaDoc?

Post by Chris Corbyn »

I like the way JavaDoc produces links to inherited methods. You can't do this with PHPDocumentor can you?

I'd like something in my API documentation which lists:

"Methods inherited from xxxx:

abcd, efgh, ijkl, mnop, ....."

and also:

"Methods overridden in xxxx:

....."

I've never used anything other than PHPDocumentor before now. Any ideas? :)

EDIT | Whoops, I must have had JS on the mind. Corrected JSDoc --> JavaDoc :? :oops:

I know Doxygen does this, see this page for an example.

I don't know if PHPDocumentor can do that. I presume it can though.
