A few formatting wishes - preferably user configurable

Just stumbled over this great tool while trying to generate some better and more up-to-date documentation of my application. This is absolutely terrific! Great Job!

My only questions so far: is there a way to influence/pretty-print the output a bit? E.g.

  • Could one have all attributes and methods of a class indented by one tab? Is this "configurable" or would one have to modify your code? I found no mentioning of "configuration" or "templating" in the description.
  • I typically prefer to nest classes inside a "package" declaration. This makes the class names much more readable because they are then much shorter. Is that possible or foreseen?
  • for methods I typically write "ReturnType: methodname(args...)", i.e. I separate the return type using a colon. This is just to make it more explicit that this is a method rather than a member variable. Would it be difficult to implement that?

I would have a few more such questions/suggestions but just to start the discussion.
