Motion to wikify command list.

That might not be a good idea, since the userguide is dynamic and the wiki would have to be updated a lot. Pressuring grel is a better option.

Or perhaps even make it a command line option. I can see it now "asss --cmdhlp"!

I would think it would most likely end up as a python script, since everything else of that nature seems to be one.

You mean like in a module? That would be weird...

Like a script. Take a look in the asss/scripts dir some time.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 8:53 pm Post subject:

Yes, but since the code for reading commands and their corresponding helps is already coded in asss why go through the trouble of making a complex python script to do it. (It's obviously not as easy as searching for "cfghelp:".)

The command list in the user guide is generated directly from the command help in the source code, by, yes, a python script. Neither that script, nor the userguide source code (in latex), are included in the standard distribution, though, which is why this fact isn't obvious.
