Hi @TheCedarPrince !
Nice! I am glad this package is being useful :)
I think we cannot "hijack" @doc
without many consequences (I don't know even if it is possible). However, it should be really easy to create another macro, like @docp
or something. What do you think?
Sorry, hit the wrong button...
Oh! I didn't realize that @doc
was provisioned from base Julia. What about @dpr
- short for "docs pager" and pronounced like "dapper"? Either way, another macro sounds great! Plus, that has the bonus - to my eyes - of getting away from having to depend on base Julia if they were to change around the @doc
macro. What do you think @ronisbr ?
Hi @TheCedarPrince !
Done! I followed your suggestion and added the macro @dpr
. Hence you can now call open a documentation inside the pager using @dpr <function_name>
. Can you please test?
Hey @ronisbr - what a great tool! Works perfectly on my fork of TerminalPager. :100:
Thank you for adding this in! Would you like an example of @dpr added to the docs? Happy to open a small PR adding how it can be used! :smile:

You're welcome. Yes, if you can submit a PR with the documentation, I will appreciate! :) Thanks!!
Hey @ronisbr!
Now that I have started using
TerminalPager
frequently, I had one feature request/idea that I am not sure how much work would be to do on your end. A big use that I have right now for the package is looking at documentation as it tends to clutter my REPL session. However, with your handy tool and thedocs
macro, this is no longer a problem!However, what I was wondering if rather than having to write syntax like this every time:
@doc(println) |> pager
Could you instead make it something more like this:
@doc println
Where the macro implicitly knows to call the
pager
command? Thanks for the great work! Use it everyday. :)
