This PR fixes the logic in
generate_function_docs.py
that generates the docs for the options of functions. The previous version mixed up the option names and the corresponding choices, leading to non-sensical docs such as reported in #755. This PR collects the option names and corresponding choices jointly such that no mix-up can happen. I have looked at the output that is changed by this script but only superficially so: my impression is that (1) some options now come in a different order (because the previous order was determined by the order of keys in adict
, which is implementation-defined) and (2) the remaining changes come from the intention of this PR, i.e., the constitute fixes of previously non-sensical output. However, since I am not intrically familiar with all extension functions, I am not 100% sure.This resolves #755.
