How to enable undo in output/temp buffer?

(buffer-enable-undo)
(buffer-disable-undo)

when writing elisp command, sometimes your command generates a output buffer. You can enable undo in that buffer, so user who might use that buffer will have undo.

to enable, just call buffer-enable-undo. Example:

(with-output-to-temp-buffer outputBuffer
  ;; something
  (switch-to-buffer outputBuffer)
  (buffer-enable-undo))
