The ampoule project uses some tags in docstring, like the javadoc ones.
For example from pool.py line 86:
def start(self, ampChild=None): ''' Starts the ProcessPool with a given child protocol. @param ampChild: a L{ampoule.child.AMPChild} subclass. @type ampChild: L{ampoule.child.AMPChild} subclass '''
What are these tags, which tool uses it.
Markup for a documentation tool, probably epydoc.
