+Epydoc
+------
+`Epydoc <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/>`_ generates API documentation based on docstrings. 
+Epydoc is able to parse docstrings marked up with :ref:`reStructuredText-ref`, 
+`Javadoc <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-jsp-135444.html#javadocdocuments>`_, 
+`epytext <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/manual-epytext.html>`_ or plaintext. 
+It supports various output formats, most notable HTML, PDF or LaTeX documents.
+
+The development of Epydoc is discontinued. You should use :ref:`sphinx-ref` instead.
