I have seen some documentation generators (VB, Access, etc). Most output
pretty much the kind of thing that fills a hundred pages of paper that means
very little, but pleases the Hell out of client to know they have a hundred
pages of documentation.
Since all processes are broken down into Fuses, it is possible to build
something. How intelligent I am not sure though. At a minimum, it could
report on what is inside a template.
But you have made me wonder... there is definitely a VTML, but is there
anything else Allaire could do to their products to make the FuseDoc process
easier?

The gutteral French translation of Debugger is "The Bugger."
