How to use LuaDoc with LuaForWindows

Question

The question is all in the title : how to use LuaDoc with LuaForWindows ?

In my Lua installation, I have a luadoc_start.bat but the command windows closes as soon as it

Answer 1

For using luadoc in Lua For Windows, the command is like this:

luadoc_start.bat path\to\lua\file\name.lua

which is to be done in either the command prompt window, or powershell.

I get a doc file to properly generate but how to do it for the whole project? I understand there is a -d argument but I am not sure how to use it, none of my tries where successful.

For this task, you'll need to write a shell script. Here's a small powershell script.

$files = Get-ChildItem .\
foreach( $file in $files ) {
    luadoc_start.bat "$file"
}

Where, you have to cd to the path\to\lua\file directory and run this PS1 file.
