;;; Commentary:

;; This code implements GNU Emacs' on-line help system, the one invoked by
;; `M-x help-for-help'.

;;; Code:

;; Get the macro make-help-screen when this is compiled,
;; or run interpreted, but not when the compiled code is loaded.
(eval-when-compile (require 'help-macro))

;; This makes `with-output-to-temp-buffer' buffers use `help-mode'.
(add-hook 'temp-buffer-setup-hook 'help-mode-setup)
(add-hook 'temp-buffer-show-hook 'help-mode-finish)

;; The variable `help-window' below is used by `help-mode-finish' to
;; communicate the window displaying help (the "help window") to the
;; macro `with-help-window'.  The latter sets `help-window' to t before
;; invoking `with-output-to-temp-buffer'.  If and only if `help-window'
;; is eq to t, `help-mode-finish' (called by `temp-buffer-setup-hook')
;; sets `help-window' to the window selected by `display-buffer'.
;; Exiting `with-help-window' and calling `print-help-return-message'
;; reset `help-window' to nil.
(defvar help-window nil
  "Window chosen for displaying help.")

;; `help-window-point-marker' is a marker you can move to a valid
;; position of the buffer shown in the help window in order to override
;; the standard positioning mechanism (`point-min') chosen by
;; `with-output-to-temp-buffer'.  `with-help-window' has this point
;; nowhere before exiting.  Currently used by `view-lossage' to assert
;; that the last keystrokes are always visible.
