documentation

I was just wondering what is the difference between two ways of writing Python Docstrings ( __doc__ ): three single quotes: ''' Comment goes here ''' three double quotes: """ Comment goes here """ Is there any subtle difference in the way doc string could be formatted later while generating docs? No. They are the same. The only difference is that the first one can contain a sequence of three unescaped double quotes, while the second can contain a sequence of three unescaped single quotes. (In other words, because the delimiters are different, there is a slight difference in what characters you

I am writing C extensions, and I'd like to make the signature of my methods visible for introspection. static PyObject* foo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { /* blabla [...] */ } PyDoc_STRVAR( foo_doc, "Great example function\n" "Arguments: (timeout, flags=None)\n" "Doc blahblah doc doc doc."); static PyMethodDef methods[] = { {"foo", foo, METH_VARARGS, foo_doc}, {NULL}, }; PyMODINIT_FUNC init_myexample(void) { (void) Py_InitModule3("_myexample", methods, "a simple example module"); } Now if (after building it...) I load the module and look at its help: >>> import _myexample >>> help(

How can I make a part of a word bold in reStructuredText? Here is an example of what I need: ".rst stands for r e s tructured t ext." I was surprised that you could not simply write .rst stands for **r**e**s**tructured **t**ext. but the reStructuredText specification indeed states that inline markup must be followed by white-space or one of - . , : ; ! ? \ / ' " ) ] } or > , so the above string of reStructuredText is not valid. However, only a minor change is required to get valid character markup with backslash escapes. Changing the above to .rst stands for **r**\ e\ **s**\ tructured **t**\

I added the <returns> xml tag to some of my methods but I can't see its content in IntelliSense. Here is my code: /// <summary> /// we all live in a yellow summary /// </summary> /// <returns>what it returns</returns> public int MyMethod() { .... } Is there any way to show this content? This currently does not work (Visual Studio 2017), and is an open issue: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/31618 One way to make it work is to install the ReSharper Visual Studio plugin (but this is paid-for). Sometimes it takes time for the IntelliSense to comprehend your code. To verify that the tag is

I'm having problems adding documentation to my code in XCode 8.2.1. Here's my code: /// Test documentation method /// /// - Parameter string: The input string /// - Returns: The output bool func testMethod(string:String) -> Bool { if string == "YES" { return true } return false } The documentation shows as expected in the quick help window but the description doesn't show in the code autocomplete window. Is there a way to get the description to show in the autocomplete box as in the image below: Thank you. You are right, the descriptions you added to the top of your methods and properties don
