Too bad :-(

I hoped that it could be made usable, with a few patches. Lazarus also 
would be happy with it...

Perhaps we can add an option, how to deal with comments. Did you have an 
look at FPDoc?

I have no newer Delphi version at hand. A conversion to Unicode (D2009+) 
may require much work.

When a new parser shall be integrated, it deserves many changes in the 
item classes. I've tried to prepare the documenters to handle the stored 
lists more flexible, but new branches in the source tree (local types, 
interface/implementation) will deserve according implementation in every 
document generator.
