-@kindex C-h
-@kindex F1
-
-  Emacs provides extensive help features, all accessible through the
-@dfn{help character}, @kbd{C-h}.  This is a prefix key that is used
-for commands that display documentation; the next character you type
-should be a @dfn{help options}, to ask for a particular kind of help.
-You can cancel the @kbd{C-h} command with @kbd{C-g}.  The function key
-@key{F1} is equivalent to @kbd{C-h}.
-
-@kindex C-h C-h
-@findex help-for-help
-  @kbd{C-h} itself is one of the help options; @kbd{C-h C-h} displays
-a list of help options, with a brief description of each one
-(@code{help-for-help}).  You can scroll the list with @key{SPC} and
-@key{DEL}, then type the help option you want.  To cancel, type
-@kbd{C-g}.
-
-  @kbd{C-h} or @key{F1} means ``help'' in various other contexts as
-well.  For instance, you can type them after a prefix key to display
-list of the keys that can follow the prefix key.  (A few prefix keys
-don't support @kbd{C-h} in this way, because they define other
-meanings for it, but they all support @key{F1} for help.)
-
-  Most help buffers use a special major mode, Help mode, which lets
-you scroll conveniently with @key{SPC} and @key{DEL}.  You can also
-follow hyperlinks to URLs, and to other facilities including Info
-nodes and customization buffers.  @xref{Help Mode}.
-
-@cindex searching documentation efficiently
-@cindex looking for a subject in documentation
-  If you are looking for a certain feature, but don't know what it is
-called or where to look, we recommend three methods.  First, try an
-apropos command, then try searching the manual index, then look in the
-FAQ and the package keywords.
-
-@table @kbd
-@item C-h a @var{topics} @key{RET}
-This searches for commands whose names match the argument
-@var{topics}.  The argument can be a keyword, a list of keywords, or a
-regular expression (@pxref{Regexps}).  This command displays all the
-matches in a new buffer.  @xref{Apropos}.
-
-@item C-h i d m emacs @key{RET} i @var{topic} @key{RET}
-This searches for @var{topic} in the indices of the on-line Emacs
-manual, and displays the first match found.  Press @kbd{,} to see
-subsequent matches.  You can use a regular expression as @var{topic}.
-
-@item C-h i d m emacs @key{RET} s @var{topic} @key{RET}
-Similar, but searches the @emph{text} of the manual rather than the
-indices.
-
-@item C-h C-f
-This displays the Emacs FAQ.  You can use the Info commands
-to browse it.
-
-@item C-h p
-This displays the available Emacs packages based on keywords.

-@node Key Help
-@section Documentation for a Key
-
-@kindex C-h c
-@findex describe-key-briefly
-  The help commands to get information about a key sequence are
-@kbd{C-h c} and @w{@kbd{C-h k}}.  @kbd{C-h c @var{key}} displays in
-the echo area the name of the command that @var{key} is bound to.  For
-example, @kbd{C-h c C-f} displays @samp{forward-char}.  Since command
-names are chosen to describe what the commands do, this gives you a
-very brief description of what @var{key} does.
-
-@kindex C-h k
-@findex describe-key
-  @kbd{C-h k @var{key}} is similar but gives more information: it
-displays the documentation string of the command as well as its name.
-It displays this information in a window, since it may not fit in the
-echo area.
-
-@kindex C-h K
-@findex Info-goto-emacs-key-command-node
-  To find the documentation of a key sequence @var{key}, type @kbd{C-h
-K @var{key}}.  This displays the appropriate manual section which
-contains the documentation of @var{key}.
-
-  @kbd{C-h c}, @kbd{C-h k} and @kbd{C-h K} work for any sort of key
-sequences, including function keys, menus, and mouse events.  For
-instance, after @kbd{C-h k} you can select a menu item from the menu
-bar, to view the documentation string of the command it runs.
-
-@kindex C-h w
-@findex where-is
-  @kbd{C-h w @var{command} @key{RET}} lists the keys that are bound to
-@var{command}.  It displays the list in the echo area.  If it says the
-command is not on any key, that means you must use @kbd{M-x} to run
-it.  @kbd{C-h w} runs the command @code{where-is}.
-
-@node Name Help
-@section Help by Command or Variable Name
-
-@kindex C-h f
-@findex describe-function
-  @kbd{C-h f @var{function} @key{RET}} (@code{describe-function})
-displays the documentation of Lisp function @var{function}, in a
-window.  Since commands are Lisp functions, you can use this method to
-view the documentation of any command whose name you know.  For
-example,
-
-@example
-C-h f auto-fill-mode @key{RET}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-displays the documentation of @code{auto-fill-mode}.  This is the only
-way to get the documentation of a command that is not bound to any key
-(one which you would normally run using @kbd{M-x}).
-
-  @kbd{C-h f} is also useful for Lisp functions that you use in a Lisp
-program.  For example, if you have just written the expression
-@code{(make-vector len)} and want to check that you are using
-@code{make-vector} properly, type @kbd{C-h f make-vector @key{RET}}.
-Because @kbd{C-h f} allows all function names, not just command names,
-you may find that some of your favorite completion abbreviations that
-work in @kbd{M-x} don't work in @kbd{C-h f}.  An abbreviation that is
-unique among command names may not be unique among all function names.
-
-  If you type @kbd{C-h f @key{RET}}, it describes the function called
-by the innermost Lisp expression in the buffer around point,
-@emph{provided} that function name is a valid, defined Lisp function.
-(That name appears as the default while you enter the argument.)  For
-example, if point is located following the text @samp{(make-vector
-(car x)}, the innermost list containing point is the one that starts
-with @samp{(make-vector}, so @kbd{C-h f @key{RET}} will describe the
-function @code{make-vector}.
-
-  @kbd{C-h f} is also useful just to verify that you spelled a
-function name correctly.  If the minibuffer prompt for @kbd{C-h f}
-shows the function name from the buffer as the default, it means that
-name is defined as a Lisp function.  Type @kbd{C-g} to cancel the
-@kbd{C-h f} command if you don't really want to view the
-documentation.
-
-@kindex C-h v
-@findex describe-variable
-  @kbd{C-h v} (@code{describe-variable}) is like @kbd{C-h f} but
-describes Lisp variables instead of Lisp functions.  Its default is
-the Lisp symbol around or before point, if that is the name of a
-defined Lisp variable.  @xref{Variables}.
-
-  Help buffers that describe Emacs variables and functions normally
-have hyperlinks to the corresponding source definition, if you have
-the source files installed.  (@xref{Hyperlinking}.)  If you know Lisp
-(or C), this provides the ultimate documentation.  If you don't know
-Lisp, you should learn it.  (The Introduction to Emacs Lisp
-Programming, available from the FSF through fsf.org, is a good way to
-get started.)  If Emacs feels you are just @emph{using} it, treating
-it as an object program, its feelings may be hurt.  For real intimacy,
-read the Emacs source code.
-
-@kindex C-h F
-@findex Info-goto-emacs-command-node
-  To find a function's documentation in a manual, use @kbd{C-h F}
-(@code{Info-goto-emacs-command-node}).  This knows about various
-manuals, not just the Emacs manual, and finds the right one.
-
-@node Apropos
-@section Apropos
-
-  The @dfn{apropos} commands answer questions like, ``What are the
-commands for working with files?''  More precisely, you specify an
-@dfn{apropos pattern}, which means either a word, a list of words, or
-a regular expression.  Each apropos command displays a list of items
-that match the pattern, in a separate buffer.
-
-@table @kbd
-@item C-h a @var{pattern} @key{RET}
-Search for commands whose names match @var{pattern}.
-
-@item M-x apropos @key{RET} @var{pattern} @key{RET}
-Search for functions and variables whose names match @var{pattern}.
-Both interactive functions (commands) and noninteractive functions can
-be found by this command.
-
-@item M-x apropos-variable @key{RET} @var{pattern} @key{RET}
-Search for user-option variables whose names match @var{pattern}.
-
-@item M-x apropos-value @key{RET} @var{pattern} @key{RET}
-Search for functions whose definitions @var{pattern}, and variables
-whose values match @var{pattern}.
-
-@item C-h d @var{pattern} @key{RET}
-Search for functions and variables whose @strong{documentation
-strings} match @var{pattern}.
-@end table
-
-@kindex C-h a
-@findex apropos-command
-@cindex apropos
-  The simplest kind of apropos pattern is one word.  Anything which
-contains that word matches the pattern.  Thus, to find the commands
-that work on files, type @kbd{C-h a file @key{RET}}.  This displays a
-list of all command names that contain @samp{file}, including
-@code{copy-file}, @code{find-file}, and so on.  Each command name
-comes with a brief description and a list of keys you can currently
-invoke it with.  In our example, it would say that you can invoke
-@code{find-file} by typing @kbd{C-x C-f}.
-
-  The @kbd{a} in @kbd{C-h a} stands for ``Apropos''; @kbd{C-h a}
-runs the command @code{apropos-command}.  This command normally checks
-only commands (interactive functions); if you specify a prefix
-argument, it checks noninteractive functions as well.
-
-  For more information about a function definition, variable or symbol
-property listed in the apropos buffer, you can click on it with
-@kbd{Mouse-1} or @kbd{Mouse-2}, or move there and type @key{RET}.
-
-  When you specify more than one word in the apropos pattern, a name
-must contain at least two of the words in order to match.  Thus, if
-you are looking for commands to kill a chunk of text before point, you
-could try @kbd{C-h a kill back backward behind before @key{RET}}.  The
-real command name @code{kill-backward} will match that; if there were
-a command @code{kill-text-before}, it would also match, since it
-contains two of the specified words.
-
-  For even greater flexibility, you can specify a regular expression
-(@pxref{Regexps}).  An apropos pattern is interpreted as a regular
-expression if it contains any of the regular expression special
-characters, @samp{^$*+?.\[}.
-
-  Following the conventions for naming Emacs commands, here are some
-words that you'll find useful in apropos patterns.  By using them in
-@kbd{C-h a}, you will also get a feel for the naming conventions.
-
-@quotation
-char, line, word, sentence, paragraph, region, page, sexp, list, defun,
-rect, buffer, frame, window, face, file, dir, register, mode, beginning, end,
-forward, backward, next, previous, up, down, search, goto, kill, delete,
-mark, insert, yank, fill, indent, case, change, set, what, list, find,
-view, describe, default.
-@end quotation
-
-@findex apropos
-  Use @kbd{M-x apropos} instead of @kbd{C-h a} to list all the Lisp
-symbols that match an apropos pattern, not just the symbols that are
-commands.  This command does not list key bindings by default; specify
-a numeric argument if you want it to list them.
-
-@findex apropos-variable
-  Use @kbd{M-x apropos-variable} to list user-customizable variables
-that match an apropos pattern.  If you specify a prefix argument, it
-lists all matching variables.
-
-@kindex C-h d
-@findex apropos-documentation
-  The @code{apropos-documentation} command is like @code{apropos}
-except that it searches documentation strings instead of symbol names
-for matches.
-
-@findex apropos-value
-  The @code{apropos-value} command is like @code{apropos} except that
-it searches variables' values for matches for the apropos pattern.
-With a prefix argument, it also checks symbols' function definitions
-and property lists.
-
-@vindex apropos-do-all
-  If the variable @code{apropos-do-all} is non-@code{nil}, the apropos
-commands always behave as if they had been given a prefix argument.
-
-@vindex apropos-sort-by-scores
-@cindex apropos search results, order by score
-  By default, apropos lists the search results in alphabetical order.
-If the variable @code{apropos-sort-by-scores} is non-@code{nil}, the
-apropos commands try to guess the relevance of each result, and
-display the most relevant ones first.
-
-@vindex apropos-documentation-sort-by-scores
-  By default, apropos lists the search results for
-@code{apropos-documentation} in order of relevance of the match.  If
-the variable @code{apropos-documentation-sort-by-scores} is
-@code{nil}, apropos lists the symbols found in alphabetical order.
-
-@node Help Mode
-@section Help Mode Commands
-
-  Help buffers provide the same commands as View mode (@pxref{Misc File
-Ops}), plus a few special commands of their own.
-
-@table @kbd
-@item @key{SPC}
-Scroll forward.
-@item @key{DEL}
-Scroll backward.
-@item @key{RET}
-Follow a cross reference at point.
-@item @key{TAB}
-Move point forward to the next cross reference.
-@item S-@key{TAB}
-Move point back to the previous cross reference.
-@item Mouse-1
-@itemx Mouse-2
-Follow a cross reference that you click on.
-@item C-c C-c
-Show all documentation about the symbol at point.
-@end table
-
-  When a function name (@pxref{M-x,, Running Commands by Name}),
-variable name (@pxref{Variables}), or face name (@pxref{Faces})
-appears in the documentation, it normally appears inside paired
-single-quotes.  To view the documentation of that command, variable or
-face, you can click on the name with @kbd{Mouse-1} or @kbd{Mouse-2},
-or move point there and type @key{RET}.  Use @kbd{C-c C-b} to retrace
-your steps.
-
-@cindex URL, viewing in help
-@cindex help, viewing web pages
-@cindex viewing web pages in help
-@cindex web pages, viewing in help
-@findex browse-url
-  You can follow cross references to URLs (web pages) also.  This uses
-the @code{browse-url} command to view the page in the browser you
-choose.  @xref{Browse-URL}.
-
-@kindex @key{TAB} @r{(Help mode)}
-@findex help-next-ref
-@kindex S-@key{TAB} @r{(Help mode)}
-@findex help-previous-ref
-  There are convenient commands to move point to cross references in
-the help text.  @key{TAB} (@code{help-next-ref}) moves point down to
-the next cross reference.  @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} moves up to the previous
-cross reference (@code{help-previous-ref}).
-
-  To view all documentation about any symbol name that appears in the
-text, move point to the symbol name and type @kbd{C-c C-c}
-(@code{help-follow-symbol}).  This shows all available documentation
-about the symbol as a variable, function and/or face.  As above, use
-@kbd{C-c C-b} to retrace your steps.
-
-@node Library Keywords
-@section Keyword Search for Lisp Libraries
-
-@kindex C-h p

-@node Language Help
-@section Help for International Language Support
-
-  You can use the command @kbd{C-h L}
-(@code{describe-language-environment}) to get information about a
-specific language environment.  @xref{Language Environments}.  This
-tells you which languages this language environment supports.  It also
-lists the character sets, coding systems, and input methods that work
-with this language environment, and finally shows some sample text to
-illustrate scripts.
-
-  The command @kbd{C-h h} (@code{view-hello-file}) displays the file
-@file{etc/HELLO}, which shows how to say ``hello'' in many languages.
-
-  The command @kbd{C-h I} (@code{describe-input-method}) describes an
-input method---either a specified input method, or by default the
-input method currently in use.  @xref{Input Methods}.
-
-  The command @kbd{C-h C} (@code{describe-coding-system}) describes
-coding systems---either a specified coding system, or the ones
-currently in use.  @xref{Coding Systems}.
-
-@node Misc Help
-@section Other Help Commands
-
-@kindex C-h i
-@findex info
-@cindex Info
-@cindex manuals, on-line
-@cindex on-line manuals
-  @kbd{C-h i} (@code{info}) runs the Info program, which browses
-structured documentation files.  The entire Emacs manual is available
-within Info, along with many other manuals for the GNU system.  Type
-@kbd{h} after entering Info to run a tutorial on using Info.
-
-@cindex find Info manual by its file name
-  With a numeric argument @var{n}, @kbd{C-h i} selects the Info buffer
-@samp{*info*<@var{n}>}.  This is useful if you want to browse multiple
-Info manuals simultaneously.  If you specify just @kbd{C-u} as the
-prefix argument, @kbd{C-h i} prompts for the name of a documentation
-file, so you can browse a file which doesn't have an entry in the
-top-level Info menu.
-
-  The help commands @kbd{C-h F @var{function} @key{RET}} and @kbd{C-h
-K @var{key}}, described above, enter Info and go straight to the
-documentation of @var{function} or @var{key}.
-
-@kindex C-h S
-@findex info-lookup-symbol
-  When editing a program, if you have an Info version of the manual
-for the programming language, you can use @kbd{C-h S}
-(@code{info-lookup-symbol}) to find symbol (keyword, function or
-variable) in the proper manual.  The details of how this command works
-depend on the major mode.
-
-@kindex C-h l
-@findex view-lossage
-  If something surprising happens, and you are not sure what you
-typed, use @kbd{C-h l} (@code{view-lossage}).  @kbd{C-h l} displays
-the last 100 characters you typed in Emacs.  If you see commands that
-you don't know, you can use @kbd{C-h c} to find out what they do.
-
-@kindex C-h e
-@findex view-echo-area-messages
-  To review recent echo area messages, use @kbd{C-h e}
-(@code{view-echo-area-messages}).  This displays the buffer
-@code{*Messages*}, where those messages are kept.
-
-@kindex C-h m
-@findex describe-mode
-  Each Emacs major mode typically redefines a few keys and makes other
-changes in how editing works.  @kbd{C-h m} (@code{describe-mode})
-displays documentation on the current major mode, which normally
-describes the commands and features that are changed in this mode.
-
-@kindex C-h b
-@findex describe-bindings
-  @kbd{C-h b} (@code{describe-bindings}) and @kbd{C-h s}
-(@code{describe-syntax}) show other information about the current
-environment within Emacs.  @kbd{C-h b} displays a list of all the key
-bindings now in effect: first the local bindings of the current minor
-modes, then the local bindings defined by the current major mode, and
-finally the global bindings (@pxref{Key Bindings}).  @kbd{C-h s}
-displays the contents of the syntax table, with explanations of each
-character's syntax (@pxref{Syntax}).
-
-  You can get a list of subcommands for a particular prefix key by
-typing @kbd{C-h} after the prefix key.  (There are a few prefix keys
-for which this does not work---those that provide their own bindings
-for @kbd{C-h}.  One of these is @key{ESC}, because @kbd{@key{ESC} C-h}
-is actually @kbd{C-M-h}, which marks a defun.)

-@node Help Files
-@section Help Files
-
-  The Emacs help commands described above display dynamic help based
-on the current state within Emacs, or refer to manuals.  Other help
-commands display pre-written, static help files.  These commands all
-have the form @kbd{C-h C-@var{char}}; that is, @kbd{C-h} followed by a
-control character.

-
-@cindex tooltips
-@cindex balloon help
-  When a region of text is ``active,'' so that you can select it with
-the mouse or a key like @kbd{RET}, it often has associated help text.
-For instance, most parts of the mode line have help text.  On
-graphical displays, the help text is displayed as a ``tooltip''
-(sometimes known as ``balloon help''), when you move the mouse over
-the active text.  @xref{Tooltips}.  On some systems, it is shown in
-the echo area.  On text-only terminals, if Emacs cannot follow the
-mouse, it cannot show the help text on mouse-over.
-
-@kindex C-h .
-@findex display-local-help
-@vindex help-at-pt-display-when-idle
-  You can also access text region help info using the keyboard.  The
-command @kbd{C-h .} (@code{display-local-help}) displays any help text
-associated with the text at point, using the echo area.  If you want
-help text to be displayed automatically whenever it is available at
-point, set the variable @code{help-at-pt-display-when-idle} to
-@code{t}.
