See pdoc --help for more command-line switches and the documentation

- Simple usage. Generate sensible API ( prose) documentation without any special configuration.
- Support for common docstrings formats (Markdown, numpydoc, Google-style docstrings), LaTeX math, and some reST directives.
- Support for PEP 484 type annotations.
- pdoc respects
__all__when present. - Inheritance used as applicable for inferring docstrings for class members.
- Support for documenting module, class, and instance variables by traversing ASTs.
- Automatic cross-linking of referenced identifiers in HTML and PDF.
- Overriding docstrings with special module-level
__pdoc__dictionary. - Built-in development web server for near-instant preview of rendered docstrings.
The above features are explained in more detail in pdoc's documentation (which was generated with pdoc).
