[wp-hackers] questions about PHPdoc and plugins

[Krusty Ruffle]

Thanks for the reply! I hope I didn't come across as putting down the
documentation in the WordPress source code, that was not my intent at all. I
was confused about what I needed to do to add similar documentation to a
plugins source code. I guess I had been hoping that there would be a
skeleton file or something along those lines that could be used to help
people understand what needs to be documented in a plugin. I eventually came
to the conclusion that putting docblocks in there for the functions would be
acceptable, especially for a plugin as simple as the one I wrote :)

And really, the documentation in that source code has improved an
unbelievable amount lately. I've found it to be much easier to figure things
out when looking at the source code, that's why I wondered about putting it
in a plugin, I though it would be good to follow suite...

Thanks again, for the reply, and the documentation efforts. It is greatly
appreciated :)

Mostly, I would say that it takes practice. The documentation in the source
