Help and Documentation Utilities
This section describes utilities designed to connect to documentation and to support bug reports. See also scribble/xref.
1 Searching in the Documentation
| (require help/search) | package: scribble-lib |
procedure
(send-main-page [ #:sub sub #:notify notify #:fragment fragment #:query query]) → any sub : path-string? = "index.html" notify : (-> path? void) = void fragment : (or/c #f string?) = #f query : (or/c #f string?) = #f
Visits the documentation file sub in the user’s browser.
This function builds a URL that points into the main collection documentation or into the user-specific documentation, depending on the sub argument. Once it finds the path, send-main-page passes the path to notify. The fragment and query arguments are passed to send-url/file, along with the URL.
procedure
(perform-search str [context]) → void?
str : string?
context :
(or/c #f string? (list/c string? string?)) = #f
Searches for str in the documentation. The context argument
supplies a context for the search or, if it is two strings, a context for
the search and a label for that context.
2 Connecting to racket
| (require help/help-utils) | package: racket-doc |
The help/help-utils
library is dynamically loaded by the help form that is
available by default in racket.
procedure
(search-for strs) → void?
strs : (listof string?)
Calls perform-search after concatenating the
elements of strs and adding spaces between them.
procedure
(find-help/lib id lib) → void?
id : symbol? lib : module-path?
Visits the documentation page for id as an export of lib.
procedure
id : identifier?
Visits the documentation for id.
procedure
(go-to-main-page) → void?
Visits the main entry page for the documentation.
