how to do FB documentation in a library project

[CodeShepherd]

I created a new library to use in a PLC project. But the added header an documentation looks quite strange when using in the PLC. What do I have to do?

The libraries have to be structured in a defined format called "reStructuredText". This a setting in your library that has to set in the project information:

Library project informatio

 

There is an official documentation available at CodeSys homepage:https://help.codesys.com/webapp/reSTOverview;product=LibDevSummary;version=3.5.17.0

To use it an additional function package called "CODESYS Library Documentation Support 4.0.0.0.package" has to be installed. This is part of the ctrlX WORKS installation package but is not automatically installed:

This has to be done by hand via the package manager in the ctrlX PLC Engineering:

There some examples and information included in a new opened library project of the type "Standard Library:

As of ctrlX PLC Engineering 1.18.1, the CODESYS Library Documentation Support package may be installed directly from the (new) Add-on installer.  See below.
