I'm just starting with Clojure and can't access to the doc function.
I'm using clojure 1.3 with emacs24 and swank-clojure.
user> *clojure-version* {:major 1, :minor 3, :incremental 0, :qualifier nil} But when I try:
(doc doc) I get:
Unable to resolve symbol: doc in this context [Thrown class java.lang.RuntimeException] I've read Why does REPL treat clojure.core/doc as a var? and as suggested:
(clojure.repl/doc doc) But then, I receive:
clojure.repl [Thrown class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException] It seems I am not "importing" the usual namespaces, but really doesn't know how to do it.
Thanks.
UPDATE
Using clojure from java (java -jar ...) it works well, so it's a problem with the emacs setup.

Clojure functions are documented by adding a string to the function definition, after the function name. This is referred to as the doc string. def bindings can also be documented to provide context to the data the name is bound to.
def is a special form that associates a symbol (x) in the current namespace with a value (7). This linkage is called a var . In most actual Clojure code, vars should refer to either a constant value or a function, but it's common to define and re-define them for convenience when working at the REPL.
A Clojure REPL (standing for Read-Eval-Print Loop) is a programming environment which enables the programmer to interact with a running Clojure program and modify it, by evaluating one code expression at a time.
You need to grab the clojure.repl namespace one way or another:
From the REPL
user> (use 'clojure.repl) user> (doc doc) or in your program
(ns foobar (:use [clojure.repl])) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
