@M.R. you can probably use WolframLanguageData
Otherwise use Documentation`ResolveLink to find the doc pages for every function in the system context and use something like this to pull all of the cell groups:
pullOptionsCells[file_] :=

 Module[{nb = NotebookTools`FlattenCellGroups@Get@file},
  FirstCase[nb,
   {
     ___,
     Cell[_?(MemberQ[#, "Options", \[Infinity]] &),
      "ExampleSection", ___],
     args___,
     Cell[_, "ExampleSection" | "SeeAlsoSection", ___],
     ___
     } :> {args},
   None,
   \[Infinity]
   ]
  ]
Following up on that you can get the string names like this:
pullCellOptionNames[cells_] :=
 Cases[
  cells,
  c : Cell[_, "ExampleSubsection", ___] :>
   StringTrim@
    First@FrontEndExecute@
      ExportPacket[DeleteCases[c, _Cell, \[Infinity]], "PlainText"]
  ]
pullCellOptionNames@
 pullOptionsCells@Documentation`ResolveLink["Solve"]

{"Cubics", "GeneratedParameters", "InverseFunctions", \
"MaxExtraConditions", "Method", "Modulus", "Quartics", \
"VerifySolutions", "WorkingPrecision"}

WolframLanguageData doesn't have any suboption documentation
But I'll try this out
thanks @b3m2a1
 
2:12 AM
@C.E. Ahh, now I understand why it looks so much like one made with Mathematica :). FWIW, how did you place the map images? I used a very clumsy approach with clipping an image made of MatrixForm and a SparseArray.

Two things I have forgotten about Mathematica but I used to know:
1. Sometimes when you evaluate code to generate a plot the output below the input is not overwritten. Instead a new output cell is generated. What is the option to prevent this???
2. Sometimes subscripted strings render as "(\!)*SubscriptBox..." when shared with a Windows user. I thought I remembered an option from a long time ago to prevent this occurring (???). It is so rare for me I have even forgotten what that form is called. But it happened today and I could not figure out the solution and because I could not remember the name of this Form didn;t know what to search for in MSE
 
7:38 AM
@MikeHoneychurch Ad 1) CellAutoOverwrite? Ad 2) Do you mean that this appears on Windows for some notebooks created on Mac?

@bobthechemist The flags are polygons with flag textures. I made one list of entities for the f-block elements and one list for all the others. The position of the ones not in the f-block is determined by getting their group and period from the entities and applying the formula {wgroup, -hperiod}, taking care to negate the y-value so that it runs downwards. The positions of the elements in the f-block were determined by an offset plus {wj, -hi} where (i, j) is the matrix position of the element.

It's a bit unclear to me what use the tag is. It seems a lot like users attach it to questions where the actual meat of the question has nothing to do with Mathematica Online...
 
3:53 PM
@CarlLange Remove it then. First-time posters often add a selection of random irrelevant tags
Or maybe he actually uses M Online, even though the question is not specific to that
I see there are so many of those that it's next to impossible to remove them now
 
4:06 PM
@CarlLange I removed that tag from several questions. Most were low-quality questions by first-time posters with many irrelevant tags.
The names used for WRI's online products are confusing (Mathematica Online, Development Platform, Wolfram Cloud, etc.) and I think no one is sure about what each one is, what the differences are, etc. Thus I won't create the tag wiki.
 
No worries, I was just thinking aloud. The only case where I see it being really useful is where the behaviour in the cloud is different from the behaviour locally (where are files exported and so on)
 
4:32 PM
Or things relating to the online front end, which is very different from the desktop front end, and much less capable.
E.g., how do I type formulas in a text cell?
 
Right, that's true
I feel sure that it would be possible to Classify tags for any given post ;)

I'd appreciate opinion on comments I left in: mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/189963/5478
OP is repeatedly asking unclear questions about implementations of built-in functions. I find them 50% interesting and 50% confusing and I am tempted to close each one that was not answered as 'unclear'.
 
8:56 PM
Yes, I noticed the pattern of questions as well
I feel a little like they're homework
I think your comments are extremely balanced and reasonable @Kuba
When I checked this user earlier, it wasn't a named user and there were only four or five questions, but all the exact same nature. Is this one of those SO things where a user has been merged?
Ah, or perhaps I am just misremembering

@Nasser Hi. Look at this please:
 
@Kevin let step back a little. I do not like to just plug in formulas. Let go back to the derivation. You agree that equation (4) is correct? From that we set t=0 to get (5). Are we on same page so far?
 
yes Equation 4 and 5 are completely correct
 
Ok. Good. Now, we need to find B0, B1 and B_n from that equation. Right? From n=0, we get B0 as -Pi/6. Ok so far?
 
The problem is the integral interval! Why your interval is [0,pi] instead of [-pi, +pi]?
 
To find B1. we multiply both sides by cos(x) and integrate each term from 0 to Pi.
it is 0..Pi because the domain is 0 to pi !
 
9:29 PM
Oh sorry! your right!
Yes and next?
 
Forget that Fourier exist. This is just math. We integrate from 0..Pi. that is all. When n=1, we should be B1. But it comes out to be zero. It should be 2/Pi for correct solution. I need to find out why
The correct solution should have 2/Pi in there. I just need to find out why it is missing now. And I am so far not seeing why that is.
 
@CarlLange thanks for feedback. I am not sure, his history looks normal.
 
@Nasser You're Great Nasser! Thank you very much
 
@Kevin if you spot the error, please let me know. it is the step for finding B1. This is very strange. As the integration is all correct. 2/Pi must be coming from somewhere else but I do not see it so far.
 
Of course I will. Using mathematica, B0 is 2/pi - pi/6 and B1 is zero
B1 is Zero the same as your solution.
 
9:37 PM
@Kevin humm.... that will fix it! But I get B0= -Pi/6 ! THat must be it. this will bring the 2/Pi back in. Let me look why I am getting -Pi/6 for B0 and you are not....
 
on the LHS of your first integral, why INT(sinx dx) (0,pi) is zero?
 
@Kevin yes, I just noticed this also now. I think that is where the problem is. THis will fix everything. Please give me a minute to fix it all. This is good. This will make B1=0 but still keep 2/pi in there which is what we want.
 
OK
 
@Kevin done. This fixes it. The problem was B0 is missing 2/Pi and B1=0. Will update the Latex code on the post now. Thanks for spotting this. This keeps the same solution as before which is the correct solution.
 
@Nasser You're welcome. And thank you for your great answers and responsibility.
