[erlang-questions] Edoc question

[Serge Aleynikov]

Robert,

Attached is a sample overview from the jungerl/LAMA project, and here's 
how you can customize location of the overview file (see the 'overview' 
option):

$ cd your_app/src
$ erl -pa ../bin -run edoc_run files '["your_file1.erl", 
"your_file2.erl"]' '[{overview,"../doc/overview.edoc"}, 
{dev,{vsn,"$VSN"}}, {dir, "../doc"}, {application, "your_app_name"}]'
