;;; Commentary:
;; Generate formatted description of a module. Currently it makes a
;; simple HTML export of the Commentary and all the docstrings in a
;; file. It is meant to be used as a batch operation, like so:
;; : emacs -batch -l edocs.el -f edocs-generate-batch file.el
;; Each paragraph of text is exported using `org-mode', currently
;; requiring at least org version 8.
;; There is `edocs-generate' which can be used to generate a buffer of
;; the HTML output of the module it's run in interactively, but it is
;; not meant as the main entry-point for edocs. The function
;; `edocs-generate-batch' is the main entry-point of edocs, it is
;; supposed to be run as a batch procedure as shown above.
