Boolean operations context help - add truth table

Status: New

This is not functional idea, but nevertheless - the point is that context help of boolean operation functions will contain not just text explanation of how does the function work, but also truth table. Thus it will be clearly seen all combinations of input values, and the resulting function output value - visualizing is always better than text description.

The full help for the primitives already includes a truth table.

This idea is specifically to escalate this information to the Context Help. Here is the existing CH for reference:

I didn't know that it is in help file itself...

At one time, the truth table was in the context help (not just the expanded help)

I was saddened when it was removed 😞

@Frozen -- that is news to me. Do you know what version? Maybe I can ask around and find why it was removed.

It was a loooong time ago. IIRC, it was around ver 6 that had the truth tables included.

@Frozen Screen sizes were smaller back then. I bet someone complained about screen real estate. 🙂

That was my assumption as well. Single CRT screen with 1024 X 768 if you were lucky. Ahhh, the good ol'days... err bad ol'days?
