"Help for..." context menu

Share icon

Hello,

I've created a procedure file and an accompanying help file to share with my colleagues, where the subtopics in the help file correspond to (and are named the same as) the functions in the procedure file. Currently I can search for the functions/subtopics using the Igor Help Browser, but is there a way to link the help file subtopics to the "Help for ..." selection of the right-click context menu of the function names, like Igor's built-in functions are? If not, will this functionality be added in the future?

Thanks!

I had the same question. I think I've done a fairly exhaustive search of the manual and the Igor Help Browser, so I suspect the answer is no, but if there is a way to provide a link to help or "insert template...", I'd love to find out. Thanks in advance for any help!

No.

This comes up once in a while but rarely and so is not a high priority. It would entail a fair amount of work.
