Is anyone aware of how, either OOTB or via a plugin, to export a SharePoint list schema and settings into a readable format for documentation purposes?

I known you can template a list (and contents) but in this instance it doesn't serve the purpose.

Thanks.
 
I don't know of anything OOTB or off the shelf that does it, but it isn't too onerous to knock something up using the SharePoint object model in your language of choice. You can simply iterate over the lists within a site, then fields within a list and then depending what settings you want noted, simply access the appropriate properties on the SPList object. You can then tailor this to whatever you need and whatever format you want using a string output.
