Right, from what I’ve read on the lists it probably wouldn’t get far as an Org-specific feature. It would be nice to have a link protocol, capture, etc. in other areas of Emacs, which has been discussed before. > It will also not work if Emacs is not installed. Yeah, that is a significant limitation. > Another possibility is Emacs website publishing all the docstrings as > separate manual, but that's again something to be discussed on > emacs-devel. This seems like the less controversial option. If I get a chance I’ll start a discussion on emacs-devel (subject ~ “Doc strings outside of Emacs”), but if anyone reading this feels inspired, they should go ahead. Best, -- Jacob S.
