The “doc” function creates broken links for functions that either do not exist or are not parse of Octave core (i.e. in a package).
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Victorel Petrovich commentedIt took me a while to understand why "doc function_name" brings a broken link, for ex for:
> doc histfit
It turns out, it's because "histfit" is not a built-in function, but a stats package function, so "doc" should not be called!
(It would be nicer if it worked anyway, but then I guess it would be hard to implement as various package functions have respectively different URL paths) -

Well, this is probably of lowest priority as doc is not supposed to be called with package functions anyway: (when invoking "help function_name"):
"Additional help for *built-in functions* and operators is
available in the online version of the manual. Use the command
'doc <topic>' to search the manual index."
