This PR significantly improves the documentation for DiffEqDevTools.jl, making it more accessible to new users and providing clear reference documentation.

Changes

README.md Enhancements

  • ✨ Added detailed package description highlighting key features
  • 📦 Added installation instructions
  • 📚 Added comprehensive examples for:
    • Convergence testing (with and without analytical solutions)
    • Work-precision diagrams
    • Algorithm shootouts
    • TestSolution usage
    • Stochastic differential equations
  • 📖 Added complete list of exported functions with descriptions
  • 🤝 Added contributing guidelines and citation information

Source Code Documentation

src/convergence.jl

  • Added comprehensive docstring for ConvergenceSimulation struct
  • Added detailed docstrings for all test_convergence method variants (SDE/RODE/Ensemble and ODE/DAE versions)
  • Added detailed docstrings for all analyticless_test_convergence variants (stochastic and ODE versions)
  • All docstrings include:
    • Clear argument descriptions
    • Keyword argument explanations
    • Return value documentation
    • Working code examples
    • Usage notes where relevant

src/benchmark.jl

  • Added comprehensive docstring for Shootout struct with example
  • Added comprehensive docstring for WorkPrecision struct with example
  • Added comprehensive docstring for WorkPrecisionSet struct with plotting example

Impact

These improvements address the minimal documentation that existed before. The README now provides:

  • Clear entry point for new users
  • Practical examples that can be run immediately
  • Overview of all major features
  • Links to further documentation

The docstrings provide:

  • API reference for all main functions
  • Inline help accessible via ?function_name in the REPL
  • Examples showing proper usage patterns

Testing

All examples in the documentation are based on existing test cases and match the actual usage patterns in the test suite.

@ChrisRackauckas - Please review these documentation improvements.
