However, I think that by highlighting only argument names it causes such a feeling that other text in the Help buffer is less important. This is especially wrong for a function name which should be regarded as more important than its arguments. So perhaps highlighting a function name will help a bit. [Note that all function references are already highlighted as buttons. What I propose is to add highlighting to the name of a function which is described in the Help buffer.] BTW, there is one bug. The following string is incorrectly fontified: [Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.] -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
