[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62855] "doc" command opens gui window in octave cli

[Rik]

Update of bug #62855 (project octave):

              Item Group:           Documentation => Regression             
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

The code in question is located in scripts/help/doc.m at line 56


  ## Give event manager the first shot.

  status = ! __event_manager_show_documentation__ (function_name);

  if (status)


In Octave 5.2 this code was


  ## if GUI is running, let it display the function
  if (isguirunning ())
    status = ! __octave_link_show_doc__ (function_name);
  else


It seems like this should be configurable because some people running the CLI
will want to stay entirely in a terminal environment, while others might still
appreciate being able to open up a Qt-based document browser for help while
still coding in the CLI.
