Hi... I'm looking for a tool (prefereably free) to export schema and
auto-generate a documentation framework from an existing MySQL
database. At a minimum I'd need a basic data dictionary, and diagrams
would be nice. Hopefully in a nice HTML framework for documentation.

You *might* be able to harness phpMyAdmin to some of this.

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

It's a browser-based php app for manipulating MySQL databases. If any of its output were useful to you, you could easily copy the (source) XHTML and style as needed. Not turnkey by any means, but could offer some shortcuts.

It'll also do SQL dumps; the CREATE TABLE SQL might be useful.

Naturally it would reflect any changes to data and structure in real time, for the databases you point it toward.
