Well, that last part I don't know, Emacs provides several interfaces to search and browse documentation and Elisp docstrings are integrated (found) in the code itself, also a `defun' that is put into effect (i.e., `eval'd) is then immediately accessible thru the help system, there is also a couple of helpers to improve code style and documentation (they even remind you to add it if it isn't there) - all this is well and good but OTOH 1) why wouldn't it be like that? and 2) you _still_ have to write the actual documentation ... -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
