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