QuickFIX-doc

QuickFIX-doc parses QuickFIX data dictionary .xml files into descriptive reStructuredText files using RstCloth, and then runs them through the Sphinx documentation generation library for Python.

Background and Goals

Writing specs for FIX sucks. QuickFIX-doc helps you "save time and look good" by taking care of the specification generation for you.

All you need is a valid QuickFIX data dictionary. No need for any custom word documents, no chance for human error, just run and view your nice beautiful spec.
