Question. Why is there no help in the Mathematica Documentation Center about a function you (Murray Eisenberg) defined?
Answer. The Documentation Center ordinarily includes help only about functions and other objects that are built into Mathematica or are part of standard add-in packages that are distributed with Mathematica.
Thatīs why, in the notebooks where I define such functions, I ordinarily include usage message definitions that you may access with “?” in the usual way. For example, if I define a function doit for you to use, you could obtain help about it by:
You can create usage messages for your own functions, too. To create a usage message for your own function myFunc, simply evaluate an expression like:
compositeQ::usage = "compositeQ[num] returns True if num is a\n composite
integer, and False otherwise."
