Documentation Packages ("DocC")

XCode Developer Documentation: Developer Tools/DocC

Introduced (?) in XCode 13. DocC doc compiler converst Markdown-based text into "rich documentation" for Swift projects, accessible within XCode.

• Add a doc catalog to an existing project:
  • select project/package in Project Navigator
  • File > New > File > Documentation Catalog template. Place the doc catalog in the same folder as the source files for DocC to associate the catalog with the library.
  • "Root" markdown file is for the package-level documentation
• Source files use /// comments (with Markdown tags embedded within them) to provide context documentation
• Product > Build Documentation generates the docs
• Docs appear in Window > Developer Documentation > Workspace Documentation (at the top)

Developer Tools/DocC/Documentation Types/API Documentation has more on the format of the Markdown
