The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ydoc Version number: v0.1alpha Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ydoc Summary description: Documentation Macros for LaTeX packages and classes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 'ydoc' provides macros and environments to document LaTeX packages and classes.
