Subject: Buttons in help buffer that displays contents of variables
Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2023 14:40:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pcXMw9qYpouWydlNih2jl4xCjfpEfFWvDXM7_Ag4sBlxAbDhVG9sluHBhwxBUc9mXEiVZaVSL_nVa-5mAMnoChSb8ak_MrPB5OwxMz6xWfg=@protonmail.com> (raw)
I want to use a button to display the contents of a variable inside
a help buffer, but the following gives
(wrong-number-of-arguments ((t) nil "Function to be executed when the button is clicked..." (interactive) (message "Button clicked!")) 1)
my-action(#<overlay from 1 to 8 in *Help*>)
(defconst myvar "Text of Front A")
(defun my-action ()
"Function to be executed when the button is clicked."
(interactive)
(message "%s" myvar))
(defun qrh ()
"Some description."
(interactive)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert-button "Front A" 'action 'my-action 'follow-link t)))
