29 ;; The help link information for IDLWAVE's online help feature for
30 ;; system routines is extracted automatically from the IDL
31 ;; documentation, and is available, along with general routine
32 ;; information, in the file idlw-rinfo.el. The HTML help file
33 ;; themselves are not distributable with Emacs, but are available,
34 ;; along with new versions of IDLWAVE, documentation, and more
35 ;; information, at:

144 Online help works only for system routines which are described in the
145 IDL manuals. A function may be specified to access help from other sources.
147 The function must accept four arguments: NAME, TYPE, CLASS, KEYWORD.
148 The Help buffer is current when this function is called, and the help
149 text should be loaded into this buffer. If help is found, the
150 function should return the buffer position which should be used as
151 `window-start' in the help window. Also, the variable
152 `idlwave-help-mode-line-indicator' should be set to a useful string,
153 which will be displayed in the mode line of the help window. If
154 should also set the variable `idlwave-help-min-frame-width' to a
155 positive integer. IDLWAVE will ensure that the help frame is at least
156 that many columns wide. Failure to find help should be indicated by
157 throwing an error.
159 When this variable is non-nil, IDLWAVE will allow the mouse-3 help click
160 for every routine and keyword, even though the item may not be highlighted
161 in blue (indicating the availability of system documentation).
163 The default value for this function is `idlwave-help-with-source' which
164 loads the routine source file into the help buffer. If you try to write
165 a different function which accesses a special help file or so, it is
