Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Epydoc is a tool for generating API documentation for Python
    modules, based on their docstrings.  A lightweight markup language
    called epytext can be used to format docstrings, and to add
    information about specific fields, such as parameters and instance
    variables.

Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Documentation for epydoc, including installation and usage
    instructions, and a complete description of the epytext markup
    language, is available on the epydoc homepage:
 
        <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/>

    This documentation is also available in the doc/ subdirectory of
    the source distribution.
