Subject: Printing as documentation
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2021 06:41:31 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ea-mime-60cec6fb-1007-7c463ee2@www-8.mailo.com> (raw)
When I wish to see the self documentation I use
C-h f myfunc
I get a temporary help buffer displaying the docstring for myfunc.
Is it possible to to do the same kind of thing when calling a description function "mydesc".
so that the print function are show in a temporary help buffer?
(defun mydesc ()
"docstring for mydesc"
(print "The brown fox" help)
(print "jumps over the fence" help) )
M-x mydesc
wiil then behave similar to doing
C-h f somefunc
