we are developing a tool for generating Markdown-formatted end user documentation for Tango devices. The xmi-based approach is almost at a usable state. Since you do not necessarily have xmi for older devices or devices written in Java or Python we are adding a client-based (device proxy) option to extract all the command, attribute, property etc. metadata from a running device.
Now my question: I have not found a way to obtain the command description, only the descriptions for in and out parameters.
Is there a way or is this feature missing? I did not find a place where Jive displays the command description either…
I am sorry to tell you that this feature does not exist! That’s a good reason for Jive not displaying it.
It’s always possible to fill a feature request in SF for a future Tango release.
