Many classes and methods are already documented in fpdoc. Those are external files which are used to generate the separate help packages but are also parsed and shown by the Lazarus IDE already. You just have to specifiy the path(s) to those docs (Settings --> FPDoc-Editor --> Paths). In other words: the feature is there, and already in use. What is indeed missing, is still a lot of documentation. Feel free to add them using the fpdoc editor of Lazarus :D -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
