Hi all
I am an emacs and org-mode beginner.
I have a thousand unanswered questions but the mailing lsit and worg are
very useful.
Is there a way to print the orgmode help docstring fully expanded ?
Best wishes
alainwinter

Err, what do you mean with orgmode help docstring?
In case you want to print a Worg page, simply export it to PDF and print
that using `C-c C-e d'. That requires a LaTeX installation. If you
don't have one, you could also print the buffer into a postscript file
using
C-u M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces RET foo.ps RET
and then print the foo.ps document.
Bye,
Tassilo

First of all, please use the subject line of your message to give
a summary of your question.
And second .. don't put yourself down! Someone else may have the same
question but were too shy to ask.
Now to answer your question. Are you taking about the Help window
that is displayed? For example, if I want to get help on
org-capture I type the commands:
C-h f
I am prompted for a function name "describe function: "
org-capture
A help window is displayed
If I wanted to print this window I would:
1. Copy the text in that window
C-x h (select buffer)
Copy 9from the menu
Open a new Word document (I run GNU Emacs on Windows)
Paste the text
Print the document
Alternatively you could save the help window to a text file
then print the text file. What operating system are you using?
C-x C-w
You are asked for a file name
myhelp.txt (or whatever name you want)
I hope this helps.
Char;es
