Maybe this bit of code serves your purpose or leads you in some useful
direction.
(ns doc-query
(:use clojure.repl))
(defn seq-docs
"Prints the docstrings of a seq of symbols."
[s]
(with-out-str (doseq [x s] (eval `(doc ~x)))))
(defn ns-docs
"Given a namespace object or its symbol returns a string with all
the docstrings of the interned vars in that ns."
[ns-sym]
(let [refs (->> ns-sym the-ns ns-interns keys (filter (complement nil?)))]
(apply str (seq-docs refs))))
(let [nss (all-ns)
docs (->> nss (map ns-docs) (apply str))]
(spit "docs.txt" docs))
(spit "special.txt" (seq-docs '(def let loop recur ,,,)))
To get the documentation for the special forms you can create a list with their
symbols and use it with the seq-docs function as shown in the last expression.
HTH,
Juan
