[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55891] "help @class/method" emits an error rather than showing documentation

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #55891 (project octave):

Matlab recognizes "foo @bar" as command syntax, equivalent to "foo('@bar')".
The space after the first word is significant as always. I'm not sure if the
rules are any different inside a classdef definition though. Is there reason
to believe they would be different?

As far as the help system, it looks to me like the following all work in
Matlab


help sym        %% returns help on the constructor only
help @sym       %% ditto
help sym.sym    %% ditto
help sym.disp   %% returns help on the disp method
help @sym/disp  %% ditto
