[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #53006 (project octave):

Rik, Kai and myself have worked on integrating the generation of Qt help files
for the C++ API (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/486bc22482ca) and
for the manual (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7c7b60dd4d4c). The
latter is installed along with octave, in /share/octave/VERSION/doc/. You can
now run assistant to look at the manual from octave:


## In a run-octave session
collection = getenv ("OCTAVE_QTHELP_COLLECTION")
## In an octave session
## collection = fullfile (__octave_config_info__ ("octdocdir"),
"octave_interpreter.qhc"); 
system (sprintf ("assistant -collectionFile %s", collection))
 

We won't install the C++ API help files since they are too large, and are not
intended for the average user. The idea is that they could be distributed
through a dedicated Octave-Forge package in the future, and be registered at
run time.
