+# How to write documentation #
+
+- Example for texinfo documentation:
+ https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave/blob/default/scripts/geometry/inpolygon.m
+- Extract documentation from file:
+ `[txt, form] = get_help_text_from_file(make_absolute_filename('pkg/inst/some_function.m'))`
+- Generate HTML documentation from single file:
+ ```octave
+pkg uninstall caosdb
+pkg install caosdb.tar.gz
+pkg load caosdb
+html_help_text('some_function', './htdocs/some.html', 'octave-forge', pkgname="caosdb")
+```
+- Generate HTML documentation for a package:
+ ```octave
+generate_package_html('caosdb', 'htdocs', 'octave-forge')
+```
