-- oUF documentation generator
--
-- This is really just a quick and dirty way of generating documentation for
-- oUF[1]. The syntax is inspired by TomDoc[2], but a lot of the non-oUF and
-- non-Lua things aren't implemented.
--
-- Why implement my own documentation generator?
-- It was mainly done because oUF is kind-of special, but also because the
-- available alternatives aren't good enough or have issues I can't workaround.
--
-- Things that need fixing:
--  - No highlighting of Lua code.
--  - Doesn't validate that comments are documentation strings.
--  - Doesn't parse its own documentation header.
--  - Close to zero error handling.
