Has anybody out there tried auto-generating API or SDK documentation

Apart from Doxygen , which other tools take source (and not output)
files as input?

I've used Perceps quite successfully - it's a free set of Perl scripts
which produce html output from scanning C / C++ files (works best
with C++ as it does a good job of documenting the class hierarchy).

The output is quite configurable, as is the commenting format. You'll
need to get Perl running on your machine to use it.

Personally I've not looked at Doxygen so I can't say whether it is
better or worse than Perceps (but I've heard good things about
Doxygen in the past).

HTH,
Chris.
