In this case, I mean the lines containing the 'include' preprocessing directive for C.

Where you make every word a button, possibly, leads to an inverted tree index for search engines to digest, perhaps 'C-h a' short for '(ask-emacs-anything)' is then possible.

line 11: .In stdio.h
line 24: .In stdarg.h

There's that below but lisp/button.el.gz doesn't have any Man variable I can see.
