The waiting game begins. Please rebuild octave with USE="doc". heh :) Testing octave 3.8.2 built with doc it works fine: octave:1> % argus% octave -q octave:1> help for -- Keyword: for I = RANGE Begin a for loop. for i = 1:10 i endfor See also: do, parfor, while. Additional help for built-in functions and operators is available in the online version of the manual. Use the command 'doc <topic>' to search the manual index. Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW at http://www.octave.org and via the help@octave.org mailing list. octave:2> Is it not a little strange having to enable USE=doc to get basic command-line help? Atleast add a note in metadata about it. - - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally Note the 'extra'. Is command-line help regarded as 'extra' documentation? And if so, why? |
