Summary

This PR adds a complete documentation infrastructure for DiffEqBase.jl using Documenter.jl, including enhanced docstrings and comprehensive interface documentation.

Changes Made

📚 Documentation Infrastructure

  • Set up Documenter.jl with proper configuration and deployment
  • Created comprehensive documentation pages for all interfaces
  • Added GitHub Actions workflow for automatic documentation building

📝 Enhanced Docstrings

  • Type Documentation:

    • Tableau and ODERKTableau: Detailed documentation for Butcher tableau types
    • DECostFunction: Documentation for cost function abstract type
    • AbstractParameterizedFunction: Enhanced documentation with usage examples
    • ConvergenceSetup: Complete documentation with fields and examples
  • Algorithm Documentation:

    • SensitivityADPassThrough: Comprehensive documentation with usage, performance notes, and examples
  • Enum Documentation:

    • KeywordArgError, KeywordArgWarn, KeywordArgSilent: Clear documentation for keyword argument handling

📖 Documentation Pages

API Reference

  • Callbacks (api/callbacks.md): Documentation for initialization and finalization methods
  • Integrator Interface (api/integrator.md): Low-level integrator control documentation
  • Statistics (api/statistics.md): Statistical analysis utilities
  • Utilities (api/utilities.md): General utility functions
  • Tableaus (api/tableaus.md): Runge-Kutta tableau documentation
  • Internal Functions (api/internal.md): Internal API documentation

Interface Guides

  • Problem Interface (interfaces/problems.md): Guide for working with problem types
  • Solution Interface (interfaces/solutions.md): Comprehensive solution interface documentation
  • Algorithm Interface (interfaces/algorithms.md): Algorithm types and properties
  • Function Interface (interfaces/functions.md): Detailed function interface with examples for ODEs, SDEs, DDEs, and DAEs

🔧 CI/CD

  • Added .github/workflows/Documentation.yml for automatic documentation deployment
  • Documentation will be built on every push to master and for all PRs

Benefits

  1. Improved Developer Experience: Clear documentation makes it easier for new contributors and users to understand the codebase
  2. Better API Discovery: Comprehensive API reference helps users find and use the right functions
  3. Reduced Support Burden: Good documentation reduces the number of basic usage questions
  4. Maintainability: Documented interfaces make it easier to maintain backward compatibility

Testing

  • Documentation builds successfully locally
  • All existing tests pass
  • Formatted with JuliaFormatter using SciMLStyle

Next Steps

After this PR is merged:

  1. Documentation will be automatically deployed to GitHub Pages
  2. Consider adding more examples and tutorials in future PRs
  3. Link to the documentation from the main README
