Project mention: Added Physics to my enemies - Unity DOTS. Pretty happy with the result! Time to tweak | /r/Unity3D | 2023-05-25Sure. This is the repo. It contains more than Physics
Project mention: TSDocs.dev: type docs for any JavaScript library | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19This is a better looking version of what Java and C# have had for a long time (kudos to the author for that!), is that the inspiration for this tool?

I saw the author mentioned in another comment that they found themselves peeping inside type declaration files "too often". While I do often use sites generated by the above tools to discover new API's that suit my needs, diving into the actual code using a good decompiler is still my first move, as it is often cheaper than seeking out the documentation online, and it will show me the actual implementation as well. So in my opinion there is no shame in looking inside the declaration files!
An easy to use documentation tool is Sandcastle Help File Builder. Sandcastle can be used as a standalone tool or integrated directly into Visual Studio. After a new language extension is written and tested use Sandcastle to create a help file. The learning curve is short and is unforgiving in that it will report when elements of documentation is missing beginning at class level down to method descriptions and parameter information.
