Heya,
Pressing F1 in "Redim" or searching for it in the help window doesn't find any documentation regarding it.

Pressing F1 on
Redim shows the
Dim page of the help here (PB 6.03 beta 5 (x64) on Windows).
And
Redim is explained on that page.

Yes, I have just scrolled down to the bottom of the help, sorry!
What about when we are writing it in the IDE?
It shows no syntax.

From the help file:
Code: Select all
Command help in the status bar:
While typing, the IDE will show the needed parameters for any PureBasic
function whose parameters you are currently typing. This makes it easy
to see any more parameters you still have to add to this function. This
also works for procedures, prototypes, interfaces or imported functions
in your code as long as they are declared in the same source code or
project.
'ReDim' is a keyword command not a library command. You also wouldn't see syntax help for 'If' either.

You can make a link at the beginning of the page
Code: Select all
<li><a href="#ReDim"><u><font size="3">ReDim</font></u></a></li>
...
<a name="ReDim"></a>
But I don't know if this will be a problem when compiling the help file to other platforms.
Here's an example
Similarly, the structures

My statement was in reference only to syntax help appearing in the status bar not in the help file.
