You can also follow this docstring convention in GHPython to document the component and parameter descriptions (and add whatever else meta data you might like/need under Remarks):

Edit: I think V6 actually does this by default when instantiating a new GHPython component, or it did at one point at least.

Thanks Rolf! I was thinking on Python but that’s useful as well!
