Can I automatically create documentation for my templates?

Good morning to everyone!
I recently began working with Ignition and I have to document the templates I make for my collegues, so they won’t be frustrated by the “unknown properties” of a million objects sombody else made.
Other enviroments (other technologies), offer tools as Javadoc and swagger that permit me to generate the documentation while writing the code it refers to.
As I got negative feedback from the customer care (ther aren’t any tools for auto-generate documentation) I think I have to write my own tool and I ask if someone encountered my same issue and maybe want to share any idea/result.
Personally I woud write a script to scan all the templates and write in a file (xml?) the structure of my objects, the way that I can build a database and consequently search within the generated data the cross references and so on.

Actually I'm still curious to know if anybody else had the same idea and maybe wants to discuss/share his/her results :smile:
