Automated documentation for `PRESTO`?

[astrogewgaw]

Just wanted to know if anyone has tried to serve Doxygen-based documentation for PRESTO? Nowadays there are packages that can link Doxygen output with Sphinx to generate documentation that could be hosted on platforms like Read The Docs: for example, projects like breathe or exhale. I wanted to try my hand at this in my free time, and wanted to know if this is something that people would like, or had already tried.

The biggest problem is that the raw doc-strings that will be converted into nice "real" documentation don't exist! If you (or others) want to write real documentation, I would gladly appreciate the help!

Sure, I will see what I can do! As far as the raw doc-strings are concerned, I think people who have contributed code to PRESTO could be a great help, since they will probably have some idea about PRESTO's internals. I am assuming that the raw doc-strings can be added incrementally, even as an automated system to generate and publish the docs is put in place. If I can come up with something that works, I will submit a PR 😁 !
