doc tags?

[Wolfram Kriesing]

i was already searching and remember i had seen something like "its not needed".

Anyway, are there any doc tags, like in Java/PHPDoc etc, where you can
describe parameters (@param[eter]), return values (@ret[urn]),
attributes (@var), references (@see), etc?

I guess I have just not found the link to the last flameware about it :-))

I'm not sure if there is something like that builtin, but you can use
epydoc: http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/

HTH,

In python they are called decorators, but I've never had a
need to use them myself, but then I'm a little old fashioned.

Decorators only work on function and method definitions. I don't think
that's what Wolfram is referring to.
