Hm, I think I_must not_ start with such a script right now, since I

But your message triggered a little bit of thought, and I came to the
conclusion that we should use a website (i.e. openlilylib.org) for the
documentation.
The script will have two stages: parsing the content of the library and
generating documentation from the resulting internal representation. I
think generating complete HTML pages isn't more complicated than
generating Markdown, but the results are better to use: We have more
control over the layout and formatting options than on a Github Wiki,
_and_ we have a self-contained HTML site that can also be deployed
locally.
Yep.
This might be a good opportunity to get my feet wet with PyQt, i.e. not to
write a _script_ but an application. Initially this wouldn't do much more
than a mere script, but with more convenient interactivity. Later it could
add an interface to _edit_ the metadata (e.g. selecting from existing tags,
batch renaming of tags etc.) and also the documentation strings themselves.
And it can even incorporate a convenient documentation browser.
I think we should target the documentation output to be a self-contained
HTML site in the repository itself (in a /doc directory) and only them
consider making it available online too.
At least with the HTML part of such a documentation I'd be glad for
assistance (if I really get this started at all). Not that I'm unable to do
that part but others can do that better, and it's a convenient split-point
to share work.
Best
