Uses Ethereum Natural Specification Format to generate method details.

// natspec example
/**
@title GavCoin

*/
contract GavCoin {
    /**
    @notice Send `(valueInmGAV / 1000).fixed(0,3)` GAV from the account of
    `message.caller.address()`, to an account accessible only by `to.address()
    @dev This should be the documentation of the function for the developer docs
    @param to The address of the recipient of the GavCoin
    @param valueInmGAV The GavCoin value to send
    @return {
        "done": "if done"
    }
    */
    function send(address to, uint256 valueInmGAV) returns (bool done) {
        if (balances[msg.sender] >= valueInmGAV) {
            balances[to] += valueInmGAV;
            balances[msg.sender] -= valueInmGAV;
            done = true;
        }
    }
}

Return params must be a single @param formatted as an object as shown above.

The above example will produce the following result as raw markdown.
