Democratize can now offer more than 6000 Emacs Lisp usage examples
Today I added Sparkly Stats as a democratizable library. But already since last month's addition of Vexil and Mondo, Democratize has been offering more than six thousand usage examples of Emacs Lisp libraries.
When I run M-x democratize-show-stats
, I see that:
- more than 3080 examples come from seven of my libraries;
- more than 2350 examples come from other third party libraries (
dash
,s
, andf
); - and 580 examples come from native Emacs libraries and primitives (all that you find in
shortdoc
, plustreesit
).
All these can be integrated into Help (or Helpful) buffers. With that, when you look up some function, you can see examples of how to use it.
Democratize also has a command that shows all of a library's functions, plus their examples, as an Org tree in a dedicated buffer. Handy for studying and searching a library.
