Hi,

Since revision #5311, help comments are now exported by the compiler 
into the information files of libraries and components (*.info files).

Consequently, if you define some help in your libraries, you will see 
them in the IDE!

Help comments must begin with two quotes and a space (`'' `), and must 
be located:

- On the same line of the declaration of the documented symbol.

- Or on several lines just before the declaration of the documented symbol.

A class can have its own help comments. The class help comments must 
begin with three quotes and a space (`''' `), and must be the first help 
comments of the class source file.

Note: The syntax used in help comments is a Gambas markup language 
mainly inspired from the Markdown markup language. [1]

Enjoy it!
