Be sure not to skip the top-most text (which likely scrolled off of your
screen):

[stephan@host:~]$ f help www
unknown command: www
Available commands:
...


There seems to be a lot of the help that is only available if one is "in

f help -a lists 'help':

[stephan@host:~]$ f help -a
3-way-mergeclean  help   rebuildstatus
...

but you're right: help help "should" also list it. It kind of does, but
only if one makes the mental leap to "help" being an actual command (as
opposed to some meta-command):

[stephan@host:~]$ f help help
Usage: f help COMMAND
   or: f COMMAND --help
...

where "COMMAND" would be "help".

Which commands appear using which help options has changed a few times
over the years. Try:

f help help

for the options needed to list various categories of commands. Note that
the CLI _can_ show help for web pages, but (to avoid any naming
ambiguities) you have to prefix the page name with a slash, e.g.:

f help timeline
vs
f help /timeline

both of those are valid but will show completely different things.


Wow! Those are all new.

I did a 'f help help'.

I tried 'f help -w'. Then, I accidentally typed 'f help www' and got a 
different list. I can't find 'www' as an option in either list.

I will save this email so I won't forget. Thanks.

PS. Seems to me that a 'f help -a' should mention 'f help help', and 'f 
help help' should mention these other options. Maybe I missed it.

Thank you. I pointed thunderbird at a url for my repository based on 
that help page and it told me there was a ticket.

RSS works by polling.  The aggregator polls various sites (for
example: https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline.rss) and then
displays recent changes.

You can use the RSS feed.  But otherwise, I'm not aware of anything.

I have design notes on my desk for some new capabilities to facilitate
this, but nothing has been implemented yet.
