doxme

create markdown docs for dox output

doxme(dox, readme, package, travis)

A Markdown formatter for dox. Takes dox's JSON output as stdin and writes Markdown to stdout.

• Generates API documentation as well as entire READMEs (like this one!)
• README generation supports Travis-CI badges

CLI Usage

dox -r < index.js | doxme

The doxme bin supports one important option: --readme. When provided, it generates a full README.md file, including title, description, installation and test instructions, and a Travis-CI badge if the project is tested with travis.

dox -r < index.js | doxme --readme > README.md
