The bulk of the presentation will demonstrate various UNIX/Linux style CLI tools (M4, Make, Plantuml, Pandoc, Graphviz, ...) and how they can be part of a build chain to keep your docs up to date and relevant. There will also be a discussion on why this toolchain is used, instead of tools like Javadoc or Swagger. The material is based on a short talk given at LCA 2018 'Using "old skool" Free tools to easily publish API documentation' *Alec Clews* founded Melbourne Raspberry Jam. He can be found online as alecthegeek in to many places. He drinks too much espresso, uses Linux as much as possible and wishes he was a better Go programmer.
