Summary

Browse documentation in Devhelp format

Commentary

In this unfortunate world, many documentations are using various
HTML based format, instead of using the excellent Texinfo and Info
format.  This makes integrating of these manuals with Emacs hard,
although not impossible.

This package make tries to integrate one of those stupid formats,
Devhelp, with Emacs.

Usage
-----

M-x devhelp and you are good to go.  But you use a system that
isn't FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) compliant, then you would
need to change it.  For example, you have to put the following in
the init file for GNU Guix:

    (setq devhelp-search-directories
          '("/run/current-system/profile/share/doc/"
            "/run/current-system/profile/share/gtk-doc/html/"
            "~/.guix-profile/share/doc/"
            "~/.guix-profile/share/gtk-doc/html/"))

You can also bookmark pages, with the standard `bookmark-set'
function.
