Documentation
Alist of known help topics.
Cons cells are of the form
(HELP-TOPIC . HELP-DATA)
HELP-TOPIC is the symbol of a help topic.
HELP-DATA is a HELP-TOPIC's public data set.
Value is an alist with elements of the form
(HELP-MODE REGEXP IGNORE-CASE DOC-SPEC PARSE-RULE OTHER-MODES)
HELP-MODE is either a mode's symbol, or a cons cell of the
form (HELP-MODE . SYMBOL-PREFIX), where SYMBOL-PREFIX is the
prefix (the part up to the first dash) of names of symbols whose
documentation is specified by DOC-SPEC.
REGEXP is a regular expression matching those help items whose
documentation can be looked up via DOC-SPEC.
IGNORE-CASE is non-nil if help items are case insensitive.
DOC-SPEC is a list of documentation specifications of the form
(INFO-NODE TRANS-FUNC PREFIX SUFFIX)
INFO-NODE is the name (including file name part) of an Info index.
TRANS-FUNC is a function translating index entries into help items;
nil means add only those index entries matching REGEXP, a string
means prepend string to the first word of all index entries.
PREFIX and SUFFIX are parts of a regular expression. If one of
them is non-nil then search the help item's Info node for the
first occurrence of the regular expression PREFIX ITEM SUFFIX.
ITEM will be highlighted with info-lookup-highlight-face if this
variable is not nil.
PARSE-RULE is either the symbol name of a function or a regular
expression for guessing the default help item at point. Fuzzy
regular expressions like "[_a-zA-Z0-9]+" do a better job if
there are no clear delimiters; do not try to write too complex
expressions. PARSE-RULE defaults to REGEXP.
OTHER-MODES is a list of cross references to other help modes.
