Hi Ottavio,

Have you tried PostgreSQL Autodoc (http://www.rbt.ca/autodoc/)?  It
generates HTML documentation (or other formats) directly from your
database.  It will use the comments added to the DB with the 'comment
on' statement.  It can also generate graphical representations of your
schema using various tools, including Graphviz.

Regards,
