How can I manipulate the output of Information?












4












$begingroup$


If I type



Information[ProductLog]


I see



Information[ProductLog]



If I type



Framed[Information[ProductLog]]


I see



Framed[Information[ProductLog]]



This is expected, though not desired, because Information prints its output, rater than returning it. However, I want to get access to the text of the description, or the boxes of the description, or something, to, e.g., put the descriptions of functions in columns or rows. How do I do things like this?

    The output cells are created by CellPrint. You can capture the cell expressions with Block[{CellPrint = Sow}, Reap@Information[ProductLog] ], but I'm not sure that's what you want.

You may use the "PlaintextUsage" or "TypesetUsage"property of WolframLanguageData.



WolframLanguageData["ProductLog", "PlaintextUsage"]


or



WolframLanguageData[ToString@ProductLog, "PlaintextUsage"]


gives




"ProductLog[z] gives the principal solution for w in z[LongEqual]we^w. ProductLog[k, z] gives the k^th solution."



Note the escapes like "[LongEqual]" will evaluate to their symbol in strings in Mathematica/Wolfram Language.



For typeset lines then



WolframLanguageData["ProductLog", "TypesetUsage"][[1, 1]]



Mathematica graphics




Hope this helps.

Berlina muro

La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
