Why this section exists. Part VIII (Help Guide) is a typeset version of the same source material, but the PDF has been condensed in places. The chapters here are generated directly from the NONMEM 7.6.0 *.ctl / *.dat / *.for / etc. text files via scripts/help-to-qmd.py, so they capture the full text including post-PDF additions (NM7.4 / NM7.5 / NM7.6 features). Treat Part VIII as the curated/edited reference; treat this section as the authoritative source.
