Reading some of the comments to this list recently, I've been thinking about
how to make getting help for fish more easy and convenient to users who like to
stay on the command line, for example using man instead of a web browser.
What about creating a man page with a name like fish-commands that is the
equivalent of commands.html but in man page format. The content already exists
in my installation (Debian package) of fish but split into separate man pages
for each command. I think it would be extremely useful to have all the
commands in one document in man format.
I am proposing *adding* this man page to what already exists, not removing or
replacing anything.
For those who want this kind of functionality now, the following two functions
will do it:
function html2txt
elinks -dump -no-numbering -no-references $argv
end
function view-help
if set -q BROWSER
set -l SAVE_BROWSER $BROWSER
set -x BROWSER html2txt
help $argv
set BROWSER $SAVE_BROWSER
else
set -gx BROWSER html2txt
help $argv
set -e BROWSER
end
end
