This is a very simple documentation generator for the [Elefant CMS](http://www.elefantcms.com/). It uses PHP's Reflection classes to produce JavaDoc-style output from Elefant's core classes.

This is not meant as a full replacement for phpDoc or ApiGen, but rather a simple solution that we can more easily integrate into our website.

I wrote this for a few reasons:

- I don't like the "interactive" elements in the output of the new phpDoc
- I kept running into issues with ApiGen's code generation, and their Texy markup is inferior to Markdown
- I want a more human-friendly comment format than they both allow
- Documentation generation is pretty easy and even fun with PHP's Reflection capabilities

For a live example of this app in use, visit:

To make the routes work well, add these to the `[Alias]` section in `conf/routes.php`:

```
/api = /visor
/helpers = /visor/helpers
/helper = /visor/helper

```
