Abstract
A device may determine to provide help information associated with a portion of program code included in a program and provided via a user interface of a programming environment. The device may obtain generic help information, associated with the portion of program code, based on determining to provide the help information. The device may determine a set of rules for modifying the generic help information using the portion of program code. The device may analyze the program, using the set of rules, to identify information, included in the program, to be included in modified help information. The device may modify the generic help information, to generate the modified help information, using the information identified based on analyzing the program. The device may provide the modified help information for display via the user interface.
