Comment (by slabbe):
At the LMFDB workshop in Edimbourg last January, we had those kind of
discussions about the fact that each !SageObject could/should have html
representation (see for instance the thread on
[https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sage-devel/1sH0xC4H7Uo/discussion Sage
Explorer] on sage-devel). At the time, I was thinking the interface could
be the same as it is now for latex, or string representation :
{{{
#!python
def _repr_(self):
r"""
Returns string representation.
"""
def _latex_(self):
r"""
Returns latex representation.
"""
def _html_(self):
r"""
Returns html representation.
"""
}}}
These methods do not show up on tab completion without the first
underscore but `html(s)` could work... The problem here may be that `html`
can be defined as just returning the code without opening a browser. Then,
`html_display` would be the name for that? Just saying here that the
choice of the name of this method should be the same for all !SageObject,
so we should make sure there is no better choice!
----
Related to this, the documentation of a function can be consulted in the
browser and opened from the command-line (works in the notebook as well):
{{{
sage: browse_sage_doc(factor)
}}}
It works also for methods of an object::
{{{
sage: m = matrix(2, range(4))
sage: browse_sage_doc(m.inverse)
}}}
