I’m back to you today to show something that we have been baking lately for KDevelop. It is its new documentation integration.
With KDevelop 4 we have been focusing on putting together the information that the user will be willing to read every moment. Until now, while browsing the code, we were only showing the information gathered by the C++ support. Since the last week this is no longer true, we can now show the documentation provided by the different documentation plugins. We only have a QtHelp plugin for now, but I hope the architecture will be flexible enough for the new plugins we will have on the future, such as, maybe, a Doxygen’s, cmake’s or anything the reader can imagine.
Here you can see a couple of screenshots that might give you an idea of how does it work so that you can see KDevelop 4, love it and try it.
