I am currently in the process of writing a ray tracing library (ASTrace) for actionscript (see [link](http://experimentalized.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-ray-tracer-features.html)).

I have a question about documenting code. I know there is software out there for automatically creating documentation, and have so far tried VisDoc to no avail (Takes forever and outputs nothing). Does anyone use any automatic documenters, which are best / easiest to use, and if anyone has any experience with VisDoc what am I doing wrong?!

Thanks very much in advance.
