86 HELP-MODE is a mode's symbol.
87 REGEXP is a regular expression matching those help items whose
88 documentation can be looked up via DOC-SPEC.
89 IGNORE-CASE is non-nil if help items are case insensitive.
90 DOC-SPEC is a list of documentation specifications of the form
92 (INFO-NODE TRANS-FUNC PREFIX SUFFIX)
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.")
