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