phpDocumentor tracking and usage

phpDocumentor is a widely used automatic documentation generator for PHP. It creates reference guides and detailed documentation from comments written in the source code, using the phpDocumentor syntax. It produces output in various formats, such as HTML, PDF, and XML.

DocBlocks are specially formatted comment blocks in PHP that phpDocumentor reads to produce the documentation. They are multi-line comments starting with /** and ending with */, and they contain additional tags and annotations that provide better context to the source code.

Simply run the following command in your terminal or command prompt: ``` composer require --dev phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor ``` This command installs the latest version of phpDocumentor in your project as a development dependency.
