24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; This code implements GNU Emacs's built-in 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 ;; This makes `with-output-to-temp-buffer' buffers use `help-mode'.

39 ;; `help-window-point-marker' is a marker you can move to a valid
40 ;; position of the buffer shown in the help window in order to override
41 ;; the standard positioning mechanism (`point-min') chosen by
42 ;; `with-output-to-temp-buffer' and `with-temp-buffer-window'.
43 ;; `with-help-window' has this point nowhere before exiting. Currently
44 ;; used by `view-lossage' to assert that the last keystrokes are always
45 ;; visible.
