Term Doxygen
Definition

Doxygen is a documentation generator that creates reference documentation from annotated source code and related files.

Context & Usage

Doxygen is used by software teams to publish API or code-reference documentation directly from code comments. It connects software development and technical writing because documentation quality depends on both source-code structure and clear explanatory comments.
