Hello, I have just expanded the Wikipedia stub article on docstrings at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docstring. Unfortunately I do not know about Lisp, but took the time to google and found a link to the GNU Emacs Lisp entry: documentation at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Manuals/elisp-manual-20-2.5/html_chapter/elisp_24.html#SEC361 .
If someone, more knowledgeable about Lisp, and interested in Wikipedia could flesh out the Lisp part... Thanks for your time. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
