Description John Scott 2018-12-24 20:55:25 UTC 
The "Show Maxima help" button links directly to the docs on their website, though on my system I have installed the docs as packaged by Debian from maxima-doc, and they can be read at /usr/share/doc/maxima-doc/html/maxima.html 

It would be convenient if there were a way for package maintainers to specify where to look for documentation offline so that it can be opened instead if available.
Comment 1 Nikita Sirgienko 2019-01-05 14:38:49 UTC 
I think, we could add "path to doc" setting to Settings->Configure Cantor->Maxima in 19.04. Is it good for you?
Comment 2 John Scott 2019-01-06 00:48:29 UTC 
(In reply to Nikita Sirgienko from comment #1)
That'd be great.

[Maxima, Octave, Python, R] Add a way to specify the path to the local documentation in the settings. By default, this path didn't specified and Cantor uses online documentation.
