Almost done with the first version of the docs facilities in the IDE which means almost ready for a beta release:

You can make it write template docs for you for all the symbols in a context and then just fill out the last bits yourself

@b3m2a1 Thanks for asking! In the immediate term, I've got a package with 1 guide, 12 tutorials, and 90 reference pages that I made with Workbench/DocTools. I'd like to be able to make those look nice in all recent version of MMA.

In the long term (for future revisions or new projects), a slightly more user-friendly interface than Workbench/DocTools would be nice!

@ChrisK ah... that is not easy to do. The docs pages that Workbench makes are what is known technically as a "hot mess".

Looking forward to what you come up with!

But if you have those Workbench templates those might be saner

@b3m2a1 Yeah it will come to a cost/benefit analysis whether to live with what I've got vs. make a fresh start.

@ChrisK I know at one point I considered making a redux of the data in the Workbench templates for some old stuff I did...if you send me a sample tutorial and guide I can see how much of a scraper I can quickly write

@Kuba I also just realized I can easily integrate my little BugTracker package:

I always forgot about my bug tracking notebooks but with this I might use them more.

Also @channel what would you like to know about this thing when I make the beta release? I was thinking I'd make a demo video but then I remembered hearing my one's own voice is literal torture and I don't know if I could do like 30 minutes of that.

But maybe I should just suck it up and do it because that's probably the easiest way to deal with this

Or I can write text and punctuate it with little videos...

I need a function similar to Depth, but that only measures the largest depth of nesting of radicals (or rational powers) in an expression. What's the simplest way to do that?

@b3m2a1 thanks, just emailed some

My attempt: radicalDepth[x_ /; FreeQ[x, _^_Rational]] = 0; radicalDepth[x_] := radicalDepth[x] = 1 + Max[radicalDepth /@ DeleteDuplicates[Cases[x, b_^_Rational :> b, All]]];.

@b3m2a1 yep, I will gladly road test it.

Is there anything like a list of the most commonly used contexts?

I'm trying a kind of ridiculous thing where I dump like most conceivable contexts into AutoStyleOptions -> "SymbolContextStyles" where each points to a named style that can just be edited in a stylesheet

I don't know what the performance implications of this will be, but I thought it worth trying out

For at least like the 50 most common contexts

So I can do things like this for example:
