documentation:</p><ul><li>standalone
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown">markdown</a>-formatted docs
in the project's doc directory</li><li>docstrings</li></ul><p>There are a number of tools for generating handsome API docs from
docstrings and other project metadata.</p><h2 id="codox">Codox</h2><p>If you'd like to generate nice-looking html API docs for your library,
use <a href="https://github.com/weavejester/codox">codox</a>. Usage instructions
are in the codox readme. Running codox (it's a lein plug-in and is run
via <code>lein codox</code> in your project) will create a "doc" subdirectory
containing the resulting html.</p><h2 id="marginalia">Marginalia</h2><p>If you'd like to render API docs side-by-side with the source code
it's documenting, use <a href="https://github.com/fogus/lein-marginalia">the marginalia lein
plug-in</a>. Usage instructions
are in the readme.</p><h2 id="cadastre">Cadastre</h2><p>If you'd like to generate copious raw data from a project (which
includes docstrings as well as other metadata), have a look at
<a href="https://github.com/dakrone/cadastre">cadastre</a>.</p>
