[slime-devel] Documentation for classes and slots

Is there a way to view the documentation strings for a class? I'd like to be able to hit C-c C-d d on a class name and see the doc strings for the class and the slots. Is this a feature I've just missed? Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.

The output from C-c C-d d is provided by the implementation's DESCRIBE, not Slime. ...so talk to your vendor. (Of course, Slime could implement DESCRIBE-FOR-EMACS like it does INSPECT-FOR-EMACS, but that is a different topic.) http://random-state.net/tmp/describe-symbol.lisp is a tentative patch to DESCRIBE for SBCL, making C-c C-d d nicer in Slime.
