MAIN FEATURES
-------------
* A single function to target and display contents in the console, in the
help browser, as well as online (help, bugzilla, atoms, forge, or even
external websites).
* Are you used to use another scientific language? Almost 200 automatic
redirections will help you targeting the right Scilab equivalence. Other
handy shortcuts are also defined for all users.
* Just give a language code en | de | fr | ja | pt | ru | zh in option, and
you get the right version of the page in the console or online. No need
to change the session language. Watching the reference en_US version of
the page is now straightforward, without leaving your locales.
* Just display main infos in brief: path in help, calling sequences,
parameters, See also. And be free to display more on request:
description, examples, history, parent ToC... Or display the whole page
with the "a" option.
* Stucked with a bug? The "wb" option let's you list documented ones
related to the faulty entry, in two seconds, for Scilab and many ATOMS
packages. Online users comments have never been so reachable.
* Help pages from Scilab, installed ATOMS modules (no need to load them),
from other external modules, and heading comments in functions are covered.
More than 50 external references available on the Scilab FileExchange can
also be addressed.
