+.SH NAME

+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBfpdoc\fP --input=inputcommand [--output=output] [--format=fmt] 
+[--descr=descriptionfile] [--show-private] [--hide-protected]
+[--lang=language] [--content=contentfile] [--import=importfile]
+[--package=packagename] [--html-search=searchpage]
+
+.SH Description
+
+.B fpdoc
+scans a Free Pascal unit source file and generates documentation for it.
+The documentation can be in various formats (currently HTML and LaTeX)
+It can read various description files which contain the description for the 
+various symbols found in the unit file.
+.SH Usage
+
+You can invoke 
+.B fpdoc
+with as the only required argument the 'input' argument. It should at least
+contain the name of the unit file for which documentation should be
+generated. 
+
+.SH Options
+
+.B fpdoc
+has several options, most of them optional, defaults will be used in most
+cases.
+
+.TP
+.BI \-\-content
+This option tells 
+.B fpdoc
+to generate a content file. A content file contains a list of all the
+possible anchors (labels) in the generated documentation file, and can be
+used to create cross-links in documentation for different units, using the
+.B --import
+option.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-descr=descfile
+This option specifies the name of a description file
+.B descfile
+that contains the actual documentation for the unit. 
+This option can be given several times, for several description files.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-format=fmt
+Specifies the format
+.B fmt
+in which the documentation will be generated. Currenly,
+the following formats are known:
+.RS
+.TP
+.I htm
+HTML with 8.3 conforming filenames.
+.TP
+.I html
+HTML with long filenames.
+.TP
+.I xhtml
+XHTML with long files,ames.
+.TP
+.I latex
+LaTex, which uses the fpc.sty style used by the Free Pascal documentation.
+.TP xml-struct
+Structured XML.
+.RE
+.TP
+.BI \-\-hide\-protected
+By default, the documentation will include descriptions and listings of
+protected fields and methods in classes or objects. This option changes this
+behaviour; if it is specified, no documentation will be generated for these
+methods. Note that public methods or properties that refer to these
+protected method will then have a dangling (i.e. unavailable) link.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-html\-search=link
+Adds an entry for an HTML search page at location
+.B link
+in the headers of the generated HTML pages. There is no search page
+provided, this should be made and provided by the user.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-import=impfile
+imports a content file 
+.B impfile
+from another documentation set. This can be used to
+resolve references to elements within this other documentation file;
+.TP
+.B \-\-input=cmd
+This option tells 
+.B fpdoc
+what input file should be used. The argument
+.B cmd
+ can be just a filename, but can
+also be a complete compiler command-line with options that concern the 
+scanning of the pascal source: defines, include files, syntax options, 
+as they would be specified to the free pascal compiler when compiling 
+the file. If a complete command is used, then it should be enclosed in 
+single or double quotes, so the shell will not break them in parts.
+It is possible to specify multiple input commands; they will be treated one
+by one, and documentation will be generated for each of them.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-lang=language
+Sets the language for the output file. This will mainly set the strings used
+for the headers in various parts of the documentation files (by default
+they're in english). Currently, valid options are
+.RS
+.TP
+.I de 
+German.
+.TP
+.I fr
+French.
+.TP
+.I nl
+Dutch.
+.RE
+.TP
+.BI \-\-latex\-highlight
+Switches on an internam latex syntax highlighter. This is not yet
+implemented. By default, syntax highlighting is provided by the syntax
+package that comes with fpc.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-output=name 
+This option tells 
+.B fpdoc
+where the output file should be generated. How this option is interpreted
+depends on the format that is used. For latex, 
+.B name
+is interpreted as the
+filename for the tex file. For all other formats,
+.B name
+is interpreted as
+the directory where all documentation files will be written. The directory
+will be created if it does not yet exist.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-show\-private 
+By default, no documentation is generated for private methods or fields.
+This option causes 
+.B fpdoc
+to generate documentation for these methods as well.
