[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38369] help fails to display the help text for class methods

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #38369 (project octave):

There are a number of unresolved issues here.  The most generic syntax


help methodname


does not work for old-style classes (@class) or new-style classes (classdef).

Dot notation does work for new-style classes, but not for old-style classes.


help class.method


Slash notation does not work for new-style or old-style classes


help class/method


But extended slash notation does work for old style-classes.


help @class/method


This suggests that simply getting Octave to recognize '.' or '/' as a scope
operator would then allow the existing code which actually fetches the help
text to work.
