Initializing help system before first use

# xpressinsight.Param

Purpose
The configuration of a parameter entity. Parameters can be used to configure an Xpress Insight app. When parameters are declared, their name, data type, and default value must be specified. Parameters are typically read-only. Use the helper function xpressinsight.types.Param to declare a parameter entity in an app, rather than instantiating xpressinsight.Param directly.
Synopsis
`class xpressinsight.Param(Entity)`
Further information
In older versions of xpressinsight, it was possible to use the Param as the annotation for an entity. This syntax is now deprecated and should not be used in new apps; it will not be supported in Python 3.12 and above.
