This function builds a URL that points into the main collection documentation or into the user-specific documentation, depending on the @racket[sub] argument. Once it finds the path, @racket[send-main-page] passes the path to @racket[notify]. The @racket[fragment] and @racket[query] arguments are passed to @racket[send-url/file], along with the URL. } @defproc[(perform-search [str string?] [context (or/c #f string? (list/c string? string?)) #f]) void?]{ Searches for @racket[str] in the documentation. The @racket[context] argument supplies a context for the search or, if it is two strings, a context for the search and a label for that context. } @; ------------------------------------------------------------ @section{Connecting to @exec{racket}} @defmodule[help/help-utils]{The @racketmodname[help/help-utils] library is dynamically loaded by the @racket[help] form that is available by default in @exec{racket}.} @defproc[(search-for [strs (listof string?)]) void?]{ Calls @racket[perform-search] after concatenating the elements of @racket[strs] and adding spaces between them. } @defproc[(find-help/lib [id symbol?] [lib module-path?]) void?]{ Visits the documentation page for @racket[id] as an export of @racket[lib]. } @defproc[(find-help [id identifier?]) void?]{ Visits the documentation for @racket[id]. } @defproc[(go-to-main-page) void?]{ Visits the main entry page for the documentation. } @; ------------------------------------------------------------ @section{Bug Reporting} @defmodule[help/bug-report] @defproc[(help-desk:report-bug [this-bug-id #f (or/c #f exact-positive-integer?)] [#:frame-mixin frame-mixin (make-mixin-contract frame%) values]) void?]{ Opens a bug report window to edit the but report identified by @racket[this-bug-id]. If @racket[this-bug-id] is @racket[#f], then creates a new bug ID and uses that one. The @racket[frame-mixin] argument is passed the frame class before creating the window. } @defproc[(saved-bug-report-titles/ids) (listof brinfo?)]{ Returns a list of the saved bug reports. } @defproc[(discard-all-saved-bug-reports) void?]{ Deletes all of the saved bug reports, except those currently open in frames. } @defstruct[brinfo ([title label-string?] [id number?]) #:transparent]{ A record representing a saved bug report.
