i know how to create functions with code generation, but how does one simultaneously create docstrings? it seems a global variable is required. is there no better way? julia> struct MyNumber; x::Float64; end julia> for op = (:sin, :cos, :tan, :log, :exp) @eval Base.$op(a::MyNumber) = …

I think it needs double-escaping like $($op) in the docstring - the inner $ being the interpolation for @eval and the outer one being ordinary string interpolation.

Or you can interpolate the whole pre-interpolated string into @eval like $(""".....$op.....""").
