Also, if point is over a documented variable, it will print +the one-line documentation for that variable instead, to remind you of +that variable's meaning. + +This mode is now enabled by default in all major modes that provide support +for it, such as `emacs-lisp-mode'. This is controlled by `global-eldoc-mode'. + +Major modes for other languages may use ElDoc by adding an +appropriate function to the buffer-local value of +`eldoc-documentation-functions'.") + (license license:gpl3+))) + ;; Tests for ert-runner have a circular dependency with ecukes, and therefore ;; cannot be run (define-public emacs-ert-runner -- 2.30.1
