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.
