105 INFO-NODE is the name (including file name part) of an Info index.
106 TRANS-FUNC is a function translating index entries into help items;
107 nil means add only those index entries matching REGEXP, a string
108 means prepend string to the first word of all index entries.
109 PREFIX and SUFFIX are parts of a regular expression. If one of
110 them is non-nil then search the help item's Info node for the
111 first occurrence of the regular expression `PREFIX ITEM SUFFIX'.
112 ITEM will be highlighted with `info-lookup-highlight-face' if this
114 PARSE-RULE is either the symbol name of a function or a regular
115 expression for guessing the default help item at point. Fuzzy
116 regular expressions like \"[_a-zA-Z0-9]+\" do a better job if
117 there are no clear delimiters; do not try to write too complex
118 expressions. PARSE-RULE defaults to REGEXP.
