PasDoc is extremely good, but one thing which would add a lot of value to PasDoc would be to include a means of documenting the functions/procedures that can be called on a particular class.

atm, PasDoc will list all functions/procedures that a particular class *introduces* - but there's no way of finding out what it's really capable of


e.g. If you have:

type
  TClassOne = class(TComponent)
  public
    function MethodBase(): integer;
  end;

  TClassTwo = class(TClassOne)
  public
    function MethodSubclass(): integer;
  end;


The page for TClassTwo will list "MethodSubclass", but give no indication that "MethodBase" can also be called on this subclass.

This makes working with PasDoc's output a lot more difficult than it needs to be; in order to find out what methods you can call on a particular class involves looking at the documentation for that class, then the parent class, then that parent's class...

It would be *extremely* useful if a layout similar to that which Delphi's help file offers would be implemented as an option, which would give an at-a-glace view of what any given class offers.
