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

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'.

 variable is not nil.
