84 HELP-MODE is a mode's symbol.
85 REGEXP is a regular expression matching those help items whose
86 documentation can be looked up via DOC-SPEC.
87 IGNORE-CASE is non-nil if help items are case insensitive.

90 (INFO-NODE TRANS-FUNC PREFIX SUFFIX)
92 INFO-NODE is the name (including file name part) of an Info index.
93 TRANS-FUNC is a function translating index entries into help items;
94 nil means add only those index entries matching REGEXP, a string
95 means prepend string to the first word of all index entries.
96 PREFIX and SUFFIX are parts of a regular expression. If one of
97 them is non-nil then search the help item's Info node for the
98 first occurrence of the regular expression `PREFIX ITEM SUFFIX'.
99 ITEM will be highlighted with `info-lookup-highlight-face' if this
100 variable is not nil.
101 PARSE-RULE is either the symbol name of a function or a regular
102 expression for guessing the default help item at point. Fuzzy
103 regular expressions like \"[_a-zA-Z0-9]+\" do a better job if
104 there are no clear delimiters; do not try to write too complex
105 expressions. PARSE-RULE defaults to REGEXP.
106 OTHER-MODES is a list of cross references to other help modes.")
