Issue #7683 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Subject changed from A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using a vendored copy of Ronn. to A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using Ronn. Assignee set to Daniel Pittman
Turns out that vendoring Ronn isn't within our reach: ronn depends on rdiscount to parse markdown, and that is a C extension. So, instead, we are going for the smallest option that can possible work: Stage one, if you have Ronn, render with it, otherwise we fall back to just dumping the markdown to the user. (Probably in their pager, ala git.) Stage two, do smarter things. Like look for prerendered man content in the database, or fall back to our own cache of the same, or something smart. Don't know what yet, but we can totally get there soon. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7683: A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using Ronn. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7683 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Accepted Priority: Urgent Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Faces Target version: 2.7.0 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: documentation faces man help Branch: A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using Ronn. See #7562 Ronn: [http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/](http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/) Ideally, this should behave like 'git log --help' would, including automatic sending the content to the pager, etc. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
