Have made a function called 'maces' that is intended to show a button called 'Organis'
to display a help page as defined in 'maces-organis'. Although I get the button 'Organis',
when I press it, I get
--------
(wrong-number-of-arguments ((t) nil "Prints information about Maces Organis." (interactive) (help--window-setup (help-buffer) #'(lambda nil (insert-button "[F7]" 'action 'maces-action-organis 'follow-link t) (insert " Maces Organis \n")))) 1) maces-organis(#<overlay from 72 to 76 in *Help*>)
--------
(defun maces-organis ()
"Prints information about Maces Organis."
(interactive)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert-button "[F7]" 'action 'maces-action-organis 'follow-link t)
(insert " Maces Organis \n") ))
(defun maces ()
"Prints information about Maces."
(interactive)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert-button "[Organis]" 'action 'maces-organis 'follow-link t)
(insert " Maces Organis \n") ))

Steve, does using a button always need a function taking a button argument?

I don't know any more about that than what I previously answered in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2023-07/msg00323.html;
see again also Yuri Khan's post
