Example of comments what I am trying to generate

function create_tags_at_question ( $tags ) {
    echo ("<label for='tags'>Tags</label>"
        . "<input name='question[tags]' type='text' cols='92' class='tags' id='required'"

Answer 1

Bear with me ... I don't know PHPdoc, so I'm guessing a little here, until the cavalry arrives.

Something about

"$PATH_PHPDOC" -d "$PATH_PROJECT" -t "$PATH_DOCS" -ti "$TITLE" -dn $PACKAGES \
-o $OUTPUTFORMAT:$CONVERTER:$TEMPLATE -pp $PRIVATE

makes tokenizer Parser unhappy. Something in the syntax is not right.

All three errors relate to this line of makedoc.sh

• --output is probably the long form of the -o you used in makedoc.sh
• PdfSmartConverter in the first error seems to be made of several of the variables in makedoc.sh run together. Do you need spaces or some other delimiter?
• do you need more ""
• is 'pdf' enough of an outputformat specifier

As I said, I'm just guessing - but maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Now ... where is that cavalry?
