26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This code helps GNU Emacs maintainers keep the loaddefs.el file up to
29 ;; date. It interprets magic cookies of the form ";;;###autoload" in
30 ;; lisp source files in various useful ways. To learn more, read the
31 ;; source; if you're going to use this, you'd better be able to.
33 ;;; Code:
35 (require 'lisp-mode) ;for `doc-string-elt' properties.
36 (require 'help-fns) ;for help-add-fundoc-usage.
