Matlab (for example) solves this in its own hackish way by offering help categories. If you type "help" you get a list of categories with a brief description of each one (e.g., "ops" for operators, "lang" for programming language constructs, "elmat" for matrix manipulation). If you type "help <categoryname>" you get a list of functions belonging to that category. However, the Clojure website already presents the information in this way, and I don't much mind keeping a web browser open while I'm hacking ;-) Maybe the right way is to scrape the Clojure website and generate categories from that? mfh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
