OraDoc

Based on the power of JavaDoc I decided that we (Oracle developers) need an OraDoc. JavaDoc generates documentation and cross references by parsing the
java source files. JavaDoc is extremely usefull and hence well supported by Java developers.

What we need is an equivalent of JavaDoc for Oracle.

Since I could not find any reference to something like it I tried to make an OraDoc for myself. If there is already anything like it I would like to know it because I don't want to waste my time.

The first results of OraDoc can be seen at: www.bolwerk.com       

At this moment OraDoc simply generates HTML pages (with cross references etc.) for the objects in the Oracle dictionary.

The current implementation is far from complete but it already offers an idea how powerful HTML docs can be to look at the database structure. I hope that there wll be feedback on how to make OraDoc more useful.
