26 ;; This code implements GNU Emacs's on-line help system, the one invoked by
27 ;; `M-x help-for-help'.
29 ;;; Code:
31 ;; Get the macro make-help-screen when this is compiled,
32 ;; or run interpreted, but not when the compiled code is loaded.
33 (eval-when-compile (require 'help-macro))
35 ;; `help-window-point-marker' is a marker you can move to a valid
36 ;; position of the buffer shown in the help window in order to override
37 ;; the standard positioning mechanism (`point-min') chosen by
38 ;; `with-output-to-temp-buffer' and `with-temp-buffer-window'.
39 ;; `with-help-window' has this point nowhere before exiting. Currently
40 ;; used by `view-lossage' to assert that the last keystrokes are always
41 ;; visible.
