[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65220] get_help_text returns docstring from parent methods

[Andreas Bertsatos]

Follow-up Comment #45, bug#65220 (group octave):

MATLAB behaves likes this:

both files 

function out = somefn(in)
  % documentation

end

function out = somefn(in)
  
  % documentation

end

return

>> help somefn
  documentation

>>>


but the files

function out = somefn(in)
 %

  % documentation

end

function out = somefn(in)
 %%

  %% documentation

end

return

>> help somefn
somefn is a function.
    out = somefn(in)

>>>


Apparently, an empty comment line followed by an empty line results in muting
any further comment block returned as documentation
