Unfortunately, PasDoc doesn't support such constructs for now. (FPC also
has them, see
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/class_extensions_examples ). Patches
(changes will be needed at least in PasDoc_Parser, and in PasDoc_Items
hierarchy) are welcome. This isn't so trivial to implement, but should
be doable.

Until then, you may trick PasDoc into omitting the problematic code by

  { Metric class }
  TMetricClass = class
    public

    {$ifndef PASDOC}
    type
      { Metric struct }
      TMetricStruct = record
        MinTime: integer;
        MaxTime: integer;
        AvgTime: integer;
        Attempts: integer;
        TotalTime: integer;
        LastAttempt: integer;
      end;
    {$endif}

...

and then define PASDOC symbol when generating the docs. For example, run
"pasdoc --define PASDOC yoursources.pas" if you use pasdoc from
command-line (pasdoc_gui also has appropriate tab to set this). Of
course, this means that docs will be a little incomplete.
