Documentation

List of functions to run in help buffer in describe-variable.

Those functions will be run after the header line and value was inserted, and before the documentation will be inserted. The functions will receive the variable name as argument. They can assume that a newline was output just before they were called, and they should terminate any of their own output with a newline. By convention they should indent their output by 2 spaces. Current buffer is the buffer in which we queried the variable, and the output should go to standard-output.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
