[slime-devel] Replacing slime-autodoc by eldoc ?
Hello, Is there any reason that prevent us to use eldoc when coding Lisp ? Why the choice was to reinvent the wheel by creating slime-autodoc ? Any hint on how to change that and use eldoc ? Just curious why this exists ;) Thank you guys. -- No e-patents, pas de brevets logiciels Pétition contre les brevets logiciels : http://petition.eurolinux.org

I didn't write that part, but I think the reason is that only the eldoc in CVS Emacs is capable of doing what we need. If we can use eldoc in Emacs 20 and XEmacs then we should, of course, switch to eldoc. Helmut.

Ok so there is no plan this I guess. Nevermind, slime-autodoc is neat too ;) I can live with this. Thank you. -- In Gruuik we trust

Is autodoc missing any important features that eldoc has?
I don't think so. My question was just to avoid using another documentation system but, hey, that's ok ;) Keep on thinking on other crucial parts :) -- In Gruuik we trust
