Hi Cody,

I haven't actually looked at CLDOC's source code but my impression is that it reads the text of the Lisp code and does its magic to figure out what is going on. Tinaa doesn't interact with the source code at all. It uses introspection to find the functions, macros, classes and so on and then it mucks about to put them into some sort of order. I'd say that both modes have their advantages and disadvantages.

it's a Lisp documentation system.

Great - I would have included it, but I was unaware.  I wont have a
chance to really look at it til this weekend at the earliest - anyone
else want to do a mini-review?

Like CLDOC, Tinaa relies on the
introspection that comes with Lisp, not on additional markup. Unlike
CLDOC (*), Tinaa doesn't just read the files, it works on systems
that loaded in Lisp.

Could you clarify this? AFAIK, CLDOC will work on loaded asdf systems.
