Tools which can parse Delphi XMLDoc format and build online help

The XMLDoc tool for API documentation is explained here:

http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/32770

Are there any free or commercial tools which can be used to create documentation based on Delphi's XML doc format?

Is there a newer version of the 'getting started' documentation? This page refers to Delphi 2005 and third party tools, some of them seem to have moved.

The XMLDoc for Delphi 2005 required

  • Python (tested with Python 2.3)
  • Instant Saxon (tested with Instant Saxon 6.5.3)
  • The Java SDK (tested with J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK)
  • and also the Visual Studio Help Integration Kit
Solution

  • Check out:

    These tools should be able to create help files, and quite possibly also use XMLDoc as their input (both are Delphi-compatible or even written in Delphi).
