Folks,
I have a question about IDLDoc mark-up. I'm using version
3.3 of IDLDocs, and I am using the rst mark-up style.
I would like to be able to include in the documentation
a "Notes" field in which I can place information about
an algorithm or the program that is pertinent background
information, but which doesn't exactly fit in other
categories.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
David

There is no specific field for notes/algorithm/background. I normally
just make the first paragraph of the comments a basic description of the
routine's purpose and following paragraphs about other pertinent
details. For example:
;+
; MY_ROUTINE performs ...
;
; This routine uses the XYZ algorithm, discussed in ...
