Autodocumentation requirements

There is an automatic documentation tool supplied with the LAL. To what extent the coders wish to use the autodocmentation system, is largely left up to their judgment and patience. However, the LAL-Spec require several items to be auto-extracted from the code to include the documentation. See the LAL-Spec for the official list, but here are some examples

$\bullet$

Function Prototypes

$\bullet$

Error code tables

$\bullet$

The author and version-control information. This should appear as footnote at the bottom of all header sections, and module and test subsections. This can be done with the L^ATEX command \vfill{\footnotesize\input{MyFileHAuthVer}}, where MYFILEHAuthVer.tex is the file where the Author-Version information from MyFile.H was extracted to. You can find examples of this to mimic.
