27 ;; Really cool code to lookup info indexes.
28 ;; Try especially info-lookup-symbol (aka C-h S).
30 ;; Some additional sources of (Tex)info files for non-GNU packages:
32 ;; Scheme: <URL:http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/ftpdir/scm/r5rs.info.tar.gz>
33 ;; LaTeX:
34 ;; <URL:ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/latex2e-help-texinfo/latex2e.texi>
35 ;; (or CTAN mirrors)
36 ;; Perl: <URL:ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/doc/manual/texinfo/> (or CPAN mirrors)
38 ;; Traditionally, makeinfo quoted `like this', but version 5 and later
39 ;; quotes 'like this' or ‘like this’. Doc specs with patterns
40 ;; therefore match open and close quotes with ['`‘] and ['’],
41 ;; respectively.

96 HELP-MODE is a mode's symbol.
97 REGEXP is a regular expression matching those help items whose

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