Description

The Doc package provides LaTeX developers with means to describe the usage and the definition of new commands and environments. However, there is no simple way to extend this functionality to other items (options or counters for instance). DoX is designed to circumvent this limitation, and provides some improvements over the existing functionality as well. Dox also comes with support for AUCTeX.

Installation

If you are building DoX from the tarball, you need to execute the following steps in order to extract the necessary files:

[pdf]latex dox.ins
[pdf]latex dox.dtx
[pdf]latex dox.dtx

After that, you need to install the generated documentation and style file to a location where LaTeX can find them. For a TDS-compliant layout, the following locations are suggested:

[TEXMF]/tex/latex/dox/dox.sty
[TEXMF]/doc/latex/dox/dox.[pdf|dvi]

If you're an AUCTeX user, you may also install the file dox.el in a suitable AUCTeX style directory.
