That's a useful tip, thanks. IMO the best documentation tool is the free MySQL Workbench from MySQL itself:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html

This is very much more than just a documentation tool, but in the context of the OP's Q it's relevant as you connect to your DB with it and it generates a graphical relationship view. An unsung but astonishingly useful developers tool.
