The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU documentation system, which allows the same source files to be used to produce on-line and printed versions of the manual.You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation by issuing the command
octave:13> help -i
while running Octave interactively, by using the GNU Emacs info mode,
or by running standalone programs like info or xinfo.
BUGS
The best way to submit a bug report for Octave is to use the command
octave:13> bug_report
while running Octave interactively. This will create a template bug
report file and start an editor on that file. Your
message will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list
once you are finished editing the template.
If you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to the [email protected] mailing list by some other means. Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to submit a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the problem.
