Folks,

I've been making an effort to use Mike Galloy's IDLDoc
program for all my program documentation in new programs
I am writing. It is going reasonably well, but I keep
running into things I just can't quite figure out how
to do. I can use some help. I am using the 'rst' markup
style.

I am writing a wrapper for another routine. I am adding
a few of my own keywords, but most of the keywords I
expect will be keywords for the routine I am wrapping.
I can gather these up and pass them along with _EXTRA,
of course. But a few of the "extra" keywords I care about
because my wrapper handles them in slightly different
ways and because I want my wrapper to define some of
these keywords in case they *are not* used.

I don't necessarily want to "define" these keywords.
The user knows what they mean and how they are used.
There is no point in documenting them.

But I need to define them on the wrapper procedure
definition line, or I can't fish them out of the
"extra" structure and use them the way I want to use
them. Naturally, since they are defined there, these
"keywords" show up in my final documentation. Is there
a way to "hide" keywords I don't want to document?

Thanks,

David
