;;; Commentary:

;; This file contains those help commands which are complicated, and
;; which may not be used in every session.  For example
;; `describe-function' will probably be heavily used when doing elisp
;; programming, but not if just editing C files.  Simpler help commands
;; are in help.el

;;; Code:

(defvar help-fns-describe-function-functions nil
  "List of functions to run in help buffer in `describe-function'.
Those functions will be run after the header line and argument
list was inserted, and before the documentation will be inserted.
The functions will receive the function name as argument.")

;; Functions
