Details:
The docstring of "filemarker" says that
By default this is the character '>'. This can be used in a
generic manner to interact with subfunctions. For example,
help (["myfunc", filemarker, "mysubfunc"])
returns the help string associated with the subfunction 'mysubfunc'
located in the file 'myfunc.m'.
Now for a file "func1.m"
$ cat func1.m
%% help1
function y = func1 (x)
%% help1.1
y = func2 (x);
endfunction
%% help2
function y = func2 (x)
%% help2.1
y = x + 1;
endfunction
and in octave-cli
octave:63> help func1
'func1' is a function from the file /home/user/func1.m
help1
octave:64> help func1>func2
error: help: 'func1>func2' is not documented
octave:64> help func1>foo
help1
octave:65>
Similar results can be got for the following commands (The outputs are too
long, so I do not paste them here)
help gallery
help gallery>cauchy
help gallery>foo
Besides, I searched the octave document but does not find the definition about
the docstring associated with a subfunction.
It's not a big deal because in reality it seems that we do not use the
docstring of a subfunction.
