Release 4.06 has a major revamp of the Lua documentation. I was starting to find that looking up a particular function in the help was a bit tedious, as many functions were grouped together in the same help page.
After a considerable amount of copying and pasting, these Lua help pages have now been broken down into individual pages, one per function.
The online documentation at this site reflects this change, to see the general idea, see the string.find help topic:
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?lua=string.find
Or check out this page which shows how the general topic of the string library now basically just lists the individual functions as hyperlinks, rather than trying to explain each one on a single page:
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?general=lua_string
Now that each function is in its own page, it should be a lot easier to implement function-name completion, and getting help on individual functions, directly from within the notepad or command window.
