Natural Docs is an open-source documentation generator for multiple programming languages. You document your code in a natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML documentation from it.
SourceForge houses the source code and issue database for the old Perl version of Natural Docs, version 1.52. It is still available but no longer being updated. Please see NaturalDocs.org for the 2.x source code and issue database.
However, you can still download the both the old and the new 2.x releases of Natural Docs here.

Fantastic, I've used it to generate really good looking documentation for various languages

Highly recommended. Lets you document concepts and logical types, as opposed to only the physical types. This is in contrast to Doxygen, which focuses on the physical types. Also, the comments in the code (where you read them most of them time) are much less cluttered and look more natural than with other systems. On the minus side, unlike Doxygen it does not do full syntax parsing of C++; and the fact that each function has a prototype and a definition creates duplicate topics if you document both. Also, single-file PDF documentation cannot be generated (though you could use some tool to convert the HTML website to a single PDF). On balance, this is my documentation system of choice. Many thanks to the author, hope he continues improving it.

Would be great if someone who know either Perl and PHP port this tool to PHP. that would start new life of this project. Cause since that tool might apear to be welcome to be used in PHP-applications natively. Even in CMS like modx that stores its snipets in database and then would be possible to generate documentation by processing its contents.
