    …tors This adds comprehensive docstrings to all major problem constructors in ModelingToolkit.jl that reference the appropriate solver documentation for extended keyword arguments: - ODEProblem, SDEProblem, DAEProblem, BVProblem, DDEProblem, JumpProblem → DifferentialEquations.jl docs - NonlinearProblem → NonlinearSolve.jl docs - OptimizationProblem → Optimization.jl docs - LinearProblem → LinearSolve.jl docs Each docstring now clearly indicates that additional keyword arguments are supported beyond those listed, with links to the relevant solver documentation for complete details on available options. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Instead of only referencing generic solver documentation, the docstrings now point to ModelingToolkit's own problem building documentation as the primary reference, with solver-specific docs as secondary references. This provides better context for MTK-specific features and workflows while still pointing users to the underlying solver documentation for advanced options. All problem constructor docstrings now reference: 1. ModelingToolkit.jl problem building documentation (primary) 2. Relevant solver documentation (secondary) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…uctor docstrings Modified docs/src/API/problems.md to reference ModelingToolkit's exported problem constructors directly instead of always using SciMLBase references. This ensures that the generated documentation shows ModelingToolkit's enhanced docstrings that include references to both MTK's problem building documentation and the relevant solver documentation. Updated references: - ODEProblem, SDEProblem, JumpProblem → Now use MTK's enhanced docstrings - NonlinearProblem, OptimizationProblem, SteadyStateProblem → Now use MTK's enhanced docstrings - IntervalNonlinearProblem, DiscreteProblem, ImplicitDiscreteProblem → Now use MTK's enhanced docstrings Non-exported types (DAEProblem, DDEProblem, BVProblem, LinearProblem) still reference SciMLBase versions, but users calling these through ModelingToolkit will see the enhanced docstrings in the REPL help system. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Updated @docs blocks in docs/src/API/problems.md to use proper Documenter.jl method signature syntax to catch ModelingToolkit's specific method dispatches. Now using explicit method signatures like: - SciMLBase.ODEProblem(::System, ::Any, ::Any) - SciMLBase.NonlinearProblem(::System, ::Any) - SciMLBase.OptimizationProblem(::System, ::Any) This ensures that Documenter.jl will find and display ModelingToolkit's enhanced docstrings that include references to both MTK's problem building documentation and the relevant solver documentation, instead of showing the generic SciMLBase docstrings. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Docs for problems/functions are done programmatically in src/problems/docs.jl. Adding docstrings inline to the function constructors is not valid.
| Well that's wrong haha. It should be using the docstring dispatch. |

Summary
This PR adds comprehensive docstrings to all major problem constructors in ModelingToolkit.jl that reference the appropriate solver documentation for extended keyword arguments.
Changes Made
DifferentialEquations.jl References
NonlinearSolve.jl References
Other Solver References
Motivation
Previously, users had no clear indication that ModelingToolkit problem constructors accept additional keyword arguments beyond those explicitly listed. This led to confusion about available solver options.
Each docstring now includes:
kwargs...are passed through to the solverTest Plan
