WordPress Docs

With a couple of days between projects, I had a chance to work on my latest 20% project.

RailsAPI‘s sdoc format is very nice in that it allows searching over all methods and classes, and is generally an intuitive way of doing things.

WordPress is full of PHPDoc comments, the Codex is invaluable, and of course being able to read the source is absolutely necessary much of the time. All in all, WordPress is quite well documented, though there’s really no coherent place that brings that all together. So I am very happy to have this new tool available before my next WordPress jaunt: WordPress Docs.

    this is very cool, thumbs up!!
    what would be a really helpful addition is to display the actual possible values each function takes, not only “string|array” – in other words, the defaults array appearing in each function just after its definition.

    thanks again!
