# Nodes in the documentation tree of the Perl Module output format

## Nodes in the documentation tree of the Perl Module output format.

This is a description of the structure of the documentation tree in DoxyDocs.pm. Each item in the list below describes a node in the tree, and the format of the description is as follows:

- [ key => ] Name (type). Explanation of the content.

Where

- The "key =&gt;" part only appears if the parent node is a hash. "key" is the key for this node.

- "Name" is a unique name for the node, defined in DoxyModel.pm.

- "(type)" is the type of the node: "string" for string nodes, "hash" for hash nodes, "list" for list nodes, and "doc" for documentation subtrees. The structure of documentation subtrees is not described anywhere yet, but you can look for example at doxylatex.pl to see how to process it.
