Comments above subs, such as:


Will automatically appear in the pop-up window:




If you want to add a code example you can use <code> tags:
B4X:
'Parses a raw mail message and returns a Message object
'Mail - The mail raw text
'AttachmentsDir - Attachments will be saved in this folder
'
'Example: <code>
'Dim m As Message
'm = MailParser.ParseMail("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=" & QUOTE & "utf-8" & QUOTE, File.DirRootExternal)
'Log(m)</code>

The code will be syntax highlighted:

Will there be a way to automatically extract the documentation written above each function to for example an XML file? This way a help file could easily be made containing all functions which would be cool.

If not, will these function description text above each function be saved into the .java files? If so I guess we could use some kind of documentation tool to extract the comments and create the help file.
