Tip: If you're seeing this as README.org (instead of html), you can:

  1. put point at the beginning of the Functions heading
  2. and then press C-c C-k (outline-show-branches).

You'll then have a compact tree-structured view of all the functions and commands.

Overview

Democratize can extract thousands of usage examples (aka "demos") from some of your favorite Emacs Lisp libraries and, among other things, insert them into Helpful (or regular "Help") buffers when you look up a function.

These examples come from files that are made available by the very libraries. Alas, they often end up being overlooked for various reasons. Overlook them no more: Democratize makes them easily accessible.

Currently, the following libraries are democratizable:

Native libraries

Library Summary
shortdoc Short function summaries
treesit tree-sitter utilities

Third-party libraries

Library Summary Website
xht The extensive hash table library https://sr.ht/~flandrew/xht
dash A modern list library for Emacs https://github.com/magnars/dash.el
s The long lost Emacs string manipulation library https://github.com/magnars/s.el
f Modern API for working with files and directories https://github.com/rejeep/f.el

Together, they can bring to your Helpful buffers more than 4900 usage examples for more than 1000 functions.

(Note: shortdoc is a rather particular case, since shortdoc.el not only defines the shortdoc format but also provides hundreds of shortdoc-formatted examples for functions from other native Emacs libraries. Most such functions are primitives defined in C source code, with the rest being defined in libraries such as seq.el, subr.el, and files.el.)

Features

This package was inspired by elisp-demos, with which it bears some similarities.

In particular, both of these packages offer:

  • usage examples, aka "demos" (I use these terms interchangeably), for Emacs Lisp functions
  • integration with Helpful buffers
  • integration with Emacs native Help buffer (launched by describe-function)

So what are the differences? Here are a few:

  democratize elisp-demos
Examples provided by libraries' own authors elisp-demos's author
Number of libraries 6 (but see note¹) >100
Number of examples >4900 ~1850
Number of functions >1000 ~1650
Examples/function ratio highly variable² small (most often 1)

¹ Counting shortdoc.el as one. In reality, though, its examples' functions come from ~12 native Emacs libraries.
² Varies a lot by library and by function. As an extreme case, there are almost 150 available usage examples for dash's -let.

I see these two packages as complementary. I use both.

Some features Democratize offers are:

  • Functional recipes to extract examples from their sources.
  • Per library stats: examples, functions, ratio
  • Overview of each library: org buffer listing all functions of the library, nicely grouped using the library's own categorization, and ready for you to launch helpful-at-point on.
  • Update when they do: whenever a library releases new functions and/or examples, you can quickly re-democratize it (this updates a local file created by democratize without modifying any of the democratized library's files).
  • Extensible: additional libraries can be added, as long as there are reliable recipes through which usage examples can be extracted.

Installation

See my page Software for the most up-to-date instructions on how to download and install any of my Emacs packages.

Having downloaded and installed the package and its dependencies, adapt the configurations below to your init.el file.

(use-package democratize
  :demand t
  :config
  (democratize-enable-examples-in-helpful)
  (democratize-enable-examples-in-help))

Alternatively, if you don’t have ‘use-package’:

(require 'democratize)
(democratize-enable-examples-in-helpful)
(democratize-enable-examples-in-help)

Quick usage guide

Having done and evaluated the above, you may want to run:
M-x democratize-all-libraries

This command works offline.
It looks for local sources of demos for democratizable libraries, if you have them.

With it, whatever libraries can already be democratized, will.
For those libraries that cannot, a message will be displayed with a suggestion of commands to fetch the missing pieces.

Then run it again.

Alternatively, to democratize a single library, run:
M-x democratize-library

and pick a democratizable library offered by completing-read.

Want to get help with examples for a function? Try:
M-x democratize-show-helpful-for-function

and pick one from the minibuffer.

Want to see a hierarchical overview of a library's functions? Try:
M-x democratize-overview-library

then put point over one of the functions and launch helpful-at-point.

Functions

Democratize libraries

Commands related to the democratization of libraries.

democratize-library (&optional library)

Select a library to democratize.

When running this function interactively, a list of democratizable
libraries will be shown. Select one to democratize. Alternatively,
you can pass LIBRARY to democratize it non-interactively.

That library has a chosen source file which is rich in examples. By
democratizing the library, you extract these examples into an Org
file that is saved in your Emacs etc directory. It'll then be
available for operations such as integration with Helpful buffers
when you look up a function from that library.

If a library cannot be democratized because its source of examples
isn't locally available, instructions will be given about how to
fetch it.

Redemocratizing a library is ok: it'll simply overwrite the .org file
previously created by this very function, thereby updating it.

democratize-all-libraries ()

Democratize all democratizable libraries.

To see a list, run democratize-able-libraries.

Some libraries might not be able to be democratized because their
source of examples is locally unavailable. These will be skipped,
and instructions will be given about how to fetch the sources.

For more information, see democratize-library.

democratize-able-libraries ()

List democratizable libraries.

democratize-d-libraries ()

List democratized libraries.

democratize-able-libraries-pending ()

List democratizable libraries not yet democratized.

democratize-show-commands-to-download-pending-examples ()

Show shell commands to download pending examples files.

These files are needed to democratize pending libraries.

Show overview of democratized library's functions

It's great to look up a library's function and see examples. But when we
keep coming back to the same trees, we may lose sight of the forest.

To what group does this function belong to?
What other functions are there in the library that you never remember to use?

The overview command shows you the library's forest, so to speak. Or more
precisely, it shows you a big Org tree with all functions for which there are
examples, nicely grouped in the categories defined by the library's author.

democratize-overview-library (&optional library)

Select a democratized LIBRARY to show overview of.

The overview is an Org tree with all functions for which there are
examples, grouped in the categories defined by the library's author.

When running this function interactively, a list of democratized
libraries will be shown. Pick one. Alternatively, you can pass
LIBRARY non-interactively.

Browse it. Pick one to look into. Put point on it. Then press the
handy key that you've chosen to bind helpful-at-point to.

If you'd like the examples to be already included in the Org tree's
leaves, use democratize-full-overview-library instead.

democratize-full-overview-library (&optional library)

Select a democratized LIBRARY to show full overview of.

This is just like democratize-overview-library, but with the
examples source blocks included in the leaves.

Show stats

Commands to show statistics about democratized libraries.

democratize-show-stats ()

Show stats about democratized libraries.

Interface with helpful and help-fns

Two kinds of help buffers are supported:

  1. Emacs' native, "normal" Help buffer, which shows up when you
    launch help-fns.el's describe-function on a function.
  2. Helpful buffers, from the library of the same name, and which
    provide, as its author puts it, "better help buffers", rich
    in additional data about the function.

Democratize provides integration with both. The latter is recommended.

Enabling examples in help-like buffers

Commands to make usage examples show up in both kinds of help buffers.

democratize-find-examples (symbol)

Find and show examples of SYMBOL in the Org file that has them.

SYMBOL is a function from a democratized library. If there's one at
point, use it. Otherwise, prompt to select from a list.

democratize-help-find-examples-at-point ()

When in a help buffer, find in Org file the examples at point.

helpful

Commands that provide integration with Helpful buffers.

democratize-enable-examples-in-helpful ()

Enable insertion of examples into helpful buffer.

Add this to your init file to have this integration enabled when
you start Emacs.

democratize-find-examples-for-helpful-buffer ()

Find in this helpful buffer examples for the function shown.

Show these examples in the Org file that has them.

help-fns

Commands that provide integration with native Help buffers.

democratize-enable-examples-in-help ()

Enable insertion of examples into help buffer.

The help buffer would have been created by describe-function.

Add this to your init file to have this integration enabled when
you start Emacs.

Selecting a function to show help and examples for

Commands to launch a help buffer on a democratized function.

helpful
democratize-show-helpful-for-function ()

Select a democratized function to launch helpful-callable on.

help-fns
democratize-show-help-for-function ()

Select a democratized function to launch describe-function on.

See README

A command to quickly open the README.org of this very library.

democratize-see-readme (&optional heading narrow)

Open democratize's README.org file.

Search for the file in democratize.el's directory.

If found, open it read-only.

If optional argument HEADING is passed, try to navigate to the
heading after opening it. HEADING should be a string.

If optional argument NARROW is non-nil, narrow to that heading.
This argument has no effect if HEADING is nil or not found.

See News

A command to quickly see News in the README.org.

democratize-see-news ()

See the News in democratize's README.org file.

Notes to library authors

If you enjoy this package and would like to see your library democratized as well, here are some factors that currently contribute to the democratizability of a library:

  • Functional-orientation
  • Correspondence between examples and the functions they refer to
  • Quality and quantity of examples
  • Suitability of the format in which the examples are made available

It's worth elaborating on this last one.

Currently suitable formats

Currently, the best formats, in a roughly decreasing order of suitability, would be:

Option #1 — README.org with named source blocks

Examples in a README.org, inside named emacs-lisp org src blocks with prefix "examples-".

Here's how that looks like in XHT:

#+name: examples-h-count<-list
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
 (h-count<-list '(:a :e :a :a :r :v :a :v :w :e :a))
  H=> (h* :a 5 :e 2 :r 1 :v 2 :w 1)

  (h-count<-list '("Emacs" "Nano" "Emacs" "Emacs" "Nano"))
  H=> (h* "Emacs" 3 "Nano" 2)

  (h-count<-list '())      H=> (h-new)
  (h-count<-list [:a :e])  !!> error
#+end_src
Option #2 — examples.el with exemplify-ert

Examples in dev/examples.el with exemplify-ert declarations.

Here's how that looks like in XHT:

(exemplify-ert h-zip-lists
  ;;;; Hp=> means the hash tables have the same items and properties
  (h-zip-lists '(:a :b)    '(1))        Hp=> (h* :a 1 :b nil)
  (h-zip-lists '(:a :b)    '(1 2))      Hp=> (h* :a 1 :b 2)
  (h-zip-lists '(:a :b :c) '(1 2))      Hp=> (h* :a 1 :b 2 :c nil)
  (h-zip-lists '(:a :b)    '(nil nil))  Hp=> (h* :a nil :b nil)
  (h-zip-lists '(:a :b)    '())         Hp=> (h* :a nil :b nil)
  (h-zip-lists '() '())                 Hp=> (h-new 1)
  (h-zip-lists '())                      !!> error
  (h-zip-lists)                          !!> error
  (h-zip-lists 3)                        !!> error)

XHT fits both above, since it uses #2 to generate #1. Extraction is done using the README.org because it's more likely to be locally available — but dev/examples.el could have been used instead.

Option #3 — examples.el with def-example-group

Examples in a dev/examples.el with def-example-group and defexamples declarations, as used by dash:

(def-example-group "Maps"
  ;;...
  (defexamples -map
    (-map (lambda (num) (* num num)) '(1 2 3 4)) => '(1 4 9 16)
    (-map #'1+ '(1 2 3 4)) => '(2 3 4 5)
    (--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) => '(1 4 9 16)
    (--map it ()) => ()
    (-map #'identity ()) => ())
  ;;...
  (defexamples -copy
    (-copy '(1 2 3)) => '(1 2 3)
    (let ((a '(1 2 3))) (eq a (-copy a))) => nil))

Notes:

  • Although dash and s also have a README, it has at most three examples per function. So we go straight to their source, where many more are available.
  • Dash's examples for a regular function and its anaphoric counterpart are all under the former, as we can see with -map above. As a consequence, when launching Helpful over an anaphoric macro, no example is shown. This could be fixed, but it isn't as straightforward. Personally, I think it'd be nice if Dash would split it upstream, creating separate defexamples for the anaphoric ones and adding the corresponding headings to its README entries.
Option #4 — shortdoc

Examples in a .el in shortdoc format.

This is currently used by f. It's shipped as a separate f-shortdoc.el file that can be loaded in Emacs >28. This is what it looks like:

(define-short-documentation-group f
  "Paths"
  ;; ...
  (f-short
   :no-eval (f-short "/Users/foo/Code/on/macOS")
   :result-string "~/Code/on/macOS"
   :no-eval (f-short "/home/foo/Code/on/linux")
   :result-string "~/Code/on/linux"
   :eval (f-short "/path/to/Code/bar"))
  ;; ...
  )

Usage examples of native Emacs libraries are also available in this format, provided by shortdoc.el itself.

Option #5 — README.org with unnamed emacs-lisp blocks

Examples in a README.org, inside unnamed emacs-lisp org src blocks, concentrated under a single first level tree (additional sublevels inside it is fine). This is also currently used by f:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(f-short "/Users/foo/Code/bar") ;; => ~/Code/bar
(f-short "/path/to/Code/bar") ;; => /path/to/Code/bar
#+end_src
Option #6 — README.md with unnamed lisp-ish blocks

Examples in a README.md, inside lisp-ish markdown blocks, concentrated under a single first level tree (additional sublevels inside it is fine). We can deal with these, too. This is what f used before it switched to README.org:

````lisp
(f-short "/Users/foo/Code/bar") ;; => ~/Code/bar
(f-short "/path/to/Code/bar") ;; => /path/to/Code/bar
````
Option #7 — other with simple-enough extraction

Some other format where:

  • extraction would be simple
  • there's correspondence between examples and functions (that is, we can fetch each function's examples)
  • examples look ready to be presented as they are

Currently unsuitable formats

  1. Libraries where there's no clear correspondence between functions and examples.
  2. Examples available only in the form of ert-deftest declarations. There's no recipe to deal with these yet.

    So, for instance, at this moment Adam Porter's date-and-time ts library cannot yet be democratized, even though its ert-deftest declarations are nicely named after the respective functions.

    There's a pending problem listed by exemplify-ert that, if solved, could make several libraries democratizable: a function to transform ert-deftest declarations into the much-more-readable-and-example-ready equality-operator format used by dash, s, f (kind of), and xht.
