Description

The recent revision of the main IRB documentation has three :stopdoc:/:startdoc: directive pairs that try to mention but omit several undocumented entries in IRB.conf:

  • IRB.conf[:LC_MESSAGES]
  • IRB.conf[:MEASURE] IRB.conf[:MEASURE_CALLBACKS] IRB.conf[:MEASURE_PROC]
  • IRB.conf[:CONTEXT_MODE]

The directives did not work, however, so the mentions have leaked into the finished html doc,

I'll be removing those from the main doc, and so am mentioning them here to prevent loss.

Research direction

Start with the main IRB documentation and inspect how the :stopdoc:/:startdoc: directive pairs handle IRB.conf entries. Confirm where the listed entries should be mentioned and verify that they are not leaked into the finished HTML documentation; the issue does not name a specific file or test.
