 Details about parameters
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-joints (list(string)):
+joints (list(string))
   Joint names to control and listen to.
 
-command_joints (list(string)):
+command_joints (list(string))
   Joint names to control. This parameters is used if JTC is used in a controller chain where command and state interfaces don't have same names.
 
-command_interface (list(string)):
+command_interface (list(string))
   Command interfaces provided by the hardware interface for all joints.
 
   Values: [position | velocity | acceleration] (multiple allowed)
 
-state_interfaces (list(string)):
+state_interfaces (list(string))
   State interfaces provided by the hardware for all joints.
 
   Values: position (mandatory) [velocity, [acceleration]].
   Acceleration interface can only be used in combination with position and velocity.
 
-state_publish_rate (double):
+state_publish_rate (double)
   Publish-rate of the controller's "state" topic.
 
   Default: 50.0
 
-action_monitor_rate (double):
+action_monitor_rate (double)
   Rate to monitor status changes when the controller is executing action (control_msgs::action::FollowJointTrajectory).
 
   Default: 20.0
 
-allow_partial_joints_goal (boolean):
+allow_partial_joints_goal (boolean)
   Allow joint goals defining trajectory for only some joints.
 
-open_loop_control (boolean):
+open_loop_control (boolean)
   Use controller in open-loop control mode using ignoring the states provided by hardware interface and using last commands as states in the next control step. This is useful if hardware states are not following commands, i.e., an offset between those (typical for hydraulic manipulators).
 
   If this flag is set, the controller tries to read the values from the command interfaces on starting. If they have real numeric values, those will be used instead of state interfaces. Therefore it is important set command interfaces to NaN (std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN()) or state values when the hardware is started.

+gains (structure)
+  If ``velocity`` is the only command interface for all joints or an ``effort`` command interface is configured, PID controllers are used for every joint. This structure contains the controller gains for every joint with the control law
