[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46076] Documentation needed for ui* family of GUI building functions

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #46076 (project octave):

@John: In --no-gui mode, where the "doc" function directly calls "info"
program, the following lets you look at e.g. axes properties:


doc ("axes properties")
## or point to a specific property
doc ("axes deletefcn")


Unfortunately, AFAICS in the GUI the "doc" function calls the doc browser
which in turn only looks for function names in the info file, not sections and
anchors.
So basically the doc browser doesn't do much more than the "help" function in
those cases (Except being able to look at the manual for what purpose I still
prefer to use a pdf viewer).

I looked at this once but got lost too fast :-). 

@Rik: There once was a discussion on the eventuality to turn our html doc into
Qt Help format so that we could use Qt assistant capabilities to search
through the manual, and replace the current doc browser. Did you get a chance
to look at this (between the huge amount of tasks you do for Octave :-))?
