Here's a related, simple, change that I've been sitting on for a long time. By putting text properties on doc strings you can insert images and other fancy stuff in the *Help* buffer. This change makes describe-variable preserve text properties (describe-function already does so): There is no clean and easy way to put text properties on a doc string, so I think this is not very useful in the present context. If someone comes up with a clean way to do that, this would be a useful part of the combination. We could think then about installing it.
One way to "insert images and other fancy stuff" in doc string, could be to use a wiki-like language in the doc string.
The doc string have some minimal special sequence substring like: \[COMMAND] \{MAPVAR} \<MAPVAR> \= Maybe these special sequences could be extended to have, for example: \==HEADER1== \===HEADER2=== \#image{SOME-REFERENCE-TO-AN-IMAGE} \#h1{HEADER1} \#h2{HEADER2} ...etc... and other doc stuff. Obviously, this should be done after the release.
