;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Routines for fabricating human readable text from function and
;; variable names as base-text for function comments.  Document is not
;; meant to generate end-text for any function.  It is merely meant to
;; provide some useful base words and text, and as a framework for
;; managing comments.
;;
;;; Origins:
;;
;; Document was first written w/ cparse, a custom regexp based c parser.
;;
;; Document was then ported to cedet/semantic using sformat (super
;; format) as the templating engine.
;;
;; Document has now been ported to srecode, using the semantic recoder
;; as the templating engine.

;; This file combines srecode-document.el and srecode-document-vars.el
;; from the CEDET repository.
