3.10 Abbreviating Section Names

Upper and lower case in section are not distinguished, so typing either ?Abbreviating Section Names or ?abbreviating section names will show this very section.

Each word in section may be abbreviated. So instead of typing ?abbreviating section names you may also type ?abb sec nam, or even ?a s n. You must not omit the spaces separating the words. For each word in the section name you must give at least the first character. As another example you may type ?oper for int instead of ?operations for integers, which is especially handy when you can not remember whether it was operations or operators.

If an abbreviation matches multiple section names a list of all these section names is displayed.
