    and i get errors

    ..
    ValueError: too many values to unpack

    Hi learnetk.

    From the subject I think you want to generate documentation for a library but from the text I get the impression you want to generate documentation for your scripts. Which is the correct one?

    If you want to generate documentation for a library did you use CODESYS Libdoc? See "Library Development Summary" and "Script your Documentation" in the online help.

    Hi Martin,

    I am using Codesys V3.5 SP6 Patch 3

    Firstly, i installed Python 2.7.12 along with the packages Sphinx and rst2pdf.

    Then started with the Libdoc scripts (as in Script your Documentation) and followed the steps as under :

    Step 1 : Libdoc export c:\project\lib\sysfile.library c:\project\lib\sysfile.json
    Step 2 : Libdoc generate c:\project\lib\sysfile.json c:\project\lib\Frame
    Step 3 : Libdoc merge c:\project\lib\sysfile.json c:\project\lib\Frame c:\project\lib\Source

    Step 4 : copy the files 'conf.py' to the Source folder, remove the html part and reference to libdoc_builder
    Step 5 : Add in Conf.py the following changes
    extensions = ['sphinx.ext.todo', 'rst2pdf.pdfbuilder']
    pdf_documents = [('index', u'rst2pdf', u'SysFileDoc', u'Test'),]

    Step 6 : sphinx-build -b pdf c:\project\lib\source c:\project\lib\build

    sphinx-build -b pdf c:\project\lib\source c:\project\lib\build

    Hi learnetk.

    Why didn't you use our tool to generate the PDF? For that you have to transform the source to LaTeX which can be converted to PDF. See "PDF Output Format" in the online help.

    Maybe you should use a newer version of CODESYS to create your documentation because there were some bugs in the early versions of the tool.

    Hi Martin,
    Thank you ..!!
    That works, as described in the section "PDF Output Format". But how could i add multiple .tex files to make a single document.

    Thanks and warm regards.

    Hello Martin,

    I have gotten to the step where, the source and frame are merged and the libdoc 3.5.11.0 installed in a virtualenv. When I try to run the sphinx command to generate a pdf, I get the error

    "Could not import extension sphinx.ext.codesys ( no module named codesys)"

    What am I missing here. Also if I try to run pdflatex on the lib.tex, I get a missing cmap.sty error and I am not able to proceed further.

    Thanks in advance

    Best Regards

    I'm running into the same error
    Could not import extension sphinx.ext.codesys (exception: No module named codesys)
    could anyone give us a hint?

    Thank you!
