SWI doc server

[nicos.ang...@gmail.com]

Dear Jan, all,

A. a quick reminder to users that SWI has a neat documentation server.

Once you 've loaded your code to memory (eg all installed packages)
you can start a doc server that will provide searchable doc in a web server

?-  use_module(library(doc_http)).
true.

?- doc_server(Port).
% Started server at http://localhost:34727/pldoc/
Port = 34727.

You then point your browser to the advertised location and you have a
fully customised doc server (Port can be set instead of requested).

(Linux hint: you can serve all the installed packs from command line with % upsh spudlike.)


B.
   Currently searching in the documentation for csv_read_file
   does not find the docs for csv_read_file/3
   (http://www.swi-prolog.org/search?for=csv_read_file)

   I think this has been so since the major re-code in autumn 2018,
   but this is not here or there. The behaviour limits the effectiveness
   of the server. It would be nice if searching matched predicate names
   (non-excluding user defined ones)
