Urho3D classes have been sparsely documented using Doxygen notation. To generate documentation into the "Docs" subdirectory, open the Doxyfile in the "Docs" subdirectory with doxywizard and click "Run doxygen" from the "Run" tab. Get Doxygen from http://www.doxygen.org & Graphviz from http://www.graphviz.org. See section "Documentation build" below on how to automate documentation generation as part of the build process.
