As a handy way to do a quick help lookup for openscad built-ins, you can
make use of your browser keyword bookmarks. This means you can type "scad
multmatrix" into the browser URL bar and it'll jump to the relevant section
of the language reference on wikibooks.

This is assuming you use firefox, but the equivalent is possible in Chrome
and probably other browsers.

First create a bookmark using the URL
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/The_OpenSCAD_Language#%s

Then open the bookmark properties and in the Keyword field, enter "scad"
(or whatever else you want your help keyword to be).

Save the bookmark and give it a go. It'll work for anything in the language
reference that has a direct link target available. We can probably tweak
the wikibook so that the few that don't currently work (e.g. text,
linear_extrude, use, include) do have an appropriate target.

Hope someone finds this useful.

Cheers,
Len.

Nice. Tried it on Chrome but Chrome doesn't seem to have places for this kind
of setup. But I might be able to come up with a bookmarklet or favelet for
this purpose, which will then applicable to any browser. Thx for the
inspiration.
