This was in the Managing Information newsletter: "Elsevier has revealed a new open source cross-referencing tool for XQuery applications, called xqDoc, developed by Darin McBeath, an Elsevier employee in the company's Advanced Technology Group. The tool is now freely available to the open source community. XQuery is a new query/programming language based on XML and used in conjunction with XML databases such as MarkLogic, a commercial database, and eXist, on the open source side. The goal of xqDoc is to provide a vendor neutral solution for documenting XQuery applications, as well as tools to generate a user-friendly representation of this documentation and cross-referencing information (e.g., how different functions are used by each other). This is accomplished through several components, including a new commenting convention that extends the currently defined XQuery comment style. This convention is modeled after Java's Javadoc commenting style, and provides a simple, uniform way to document XQuery source code. Javadoc is a widely used tool for providing the same sort of information for Java programs that xqDoc provides for XQuery programs. It is hoped that xqDoc achieves the same level of adoption and success for XQuery that Javadoc has for Java.
