docs: Enhance ROS 2 documentation clarity and consistency (Issue #1487) #5383
Conversation
…nt-Middleware-Vendors.rst, Developing-a-ROS-2-Package.rst, Installation-Troubleshooting.rst, Configuring-ROS2-Environment.rst, index.rst): update documentation for clarity and consistency Improve clarity in the documentation by rephrasing several sections across various files. Changes include enhancing the description of the ROS 2 workspace concept, refining the explanation of the default RMW implementation, and improving the instructions for creating a ROS 2 package. Additionally, update the installation troubleshooting section to provide clearer guidance on enabling multicast. Overall, these updates enhance the readability and consistency of the ROS 2 documentation.

This approach requires that each component has a header file (which is not strictly needed for the other cases). |

we are actually moving away from ament_target_dependencies, see more details for ament/ament_cmake#292. probably base model is one year or more older, this is known limitation with recent AI agent without RAG or Fine-Turning approach to update its network statically or dynamically...

i do not like breaking the sections like this especially for trouble-shooting. i think it would be more useful to keep the trouble-shooting one by one to put all the information together. if that is recognized to Linux specific trouble-shooting maybe we can add the trouble-shooting for other platforms in here?

Hey, FYI this is one of the first few batches of RepoBird demo runs and so I have no way of automating the process of PR review fixes. The actual github app allows me to run @RepoBirdBot commands to fix any PR issues but you don't have the app installed so webhooks that normally trigger the bot wont work. I'll be figuring out a new way to give some review runs that take into account your review comments and update new pushes to this PR source branch. Will keep you posted. |

Improve documentation clarity by adjusting formatting in several guides for better readability and understanding.

Ok, I was able to create a script that scrapes all PR github comments + review comments + pipeline failure logs. I then summarize them to try to distill the main pain points and pass that as a new prompt for the bot to work on. Hopefully linting checks are passing now and the comments have been addressed. Can always re-trigger a new run now as well if any new review comments come in. |
This PR updates multiple documentation files to improve clarity, consistency, and readability in the ROS 2 docs. The changes address several suggestions from Issue #1487 and include:
rclpypackage section to clarify that the use of therclAPI maintains consistency across client libraries.~/ros2_ws/src), aligning with standard naming conventions and avoiding project-specific names.These enhancements aim to make the documentation more user-friendly and less ambiguous, ensuring essential details are easily understood.
All changes have been applied without introducing new packages or breaking tests.
