Is there a reason CMake cannot know where to find these pages in order to display them on request?

You mean have --help-man / --help-html output the distributed files?
The new documentation (as distributed) is no longer single page so that would not map properly.


(--help-man doesn't seem necessary except to generate the man pages; if they're being generated by some other means, I'd think 'man cmake' is sufficient to display them.)


I think the same is true for the html documentation.

The documented use case for both --help-man and --help-html is generating the documentation for the build rather than displaying it for the user.

There may be undocumented valid use cases for regular users as well but I can't think of any.
