    Not just Freeware but Open Source (and the source is even included in the regular Win32 setup). Supports lots of non-Win platforms including Mac OS X, and plug-ins are available to integrate with Total Commander and Notepad++.

    Very simple, easy to use, and tons of templates.

    I tried INI files and had to convert from unicode to ansi to get it to work properly. I shouldn't have to do this manually! ;)

    I'll stick with Kudaz which is a bit complicated at first but is far more powerful.

    Would you care to share what modification you made to output code trees? I would love to know and I'm sure many other people would.

    This does exactly what it says, and its exactly what i was looking for (last week sadly). I use it for C++ code and the formatting looks good. Perhaps a few less styles to choose from :o) It's a keeper!

    I tried this on a bunch of different languages and it worked great. Creating a Style Sheet looks like a pain in the butt, and the GUI is not quite that intuitive. The program does what it says. I see alot of potential to what this program can do... possibly auto create API Modules? ;)
