I just started to play with it and it looks good!
It provides a feature that scilab is lacking: a decent command line
documentation.
Thanks,
Antoine

Hello,
*uman* is a *U*nified display command of the Scilab User *MAN*ual. It
is a general purpose
function that might be useful for every Scilab user and developer.
*uman* 1.2 is just released on ATOMS (web and Scilab
interface).Install it and enjoy!
*Pointers* :
* ATOMS page : http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/uman
* Help (en):
http://sgougeon.free.fr/scilab/help/uman/scilab_en_US_help/uman.html
* Help (fr) :
http://sgougeon.free.fr/scilab/help/uman/scilab_fr_FR_help/uman.html
*Main features* :
* A single function to see help pages from Scilab, from installed
ATOMS modules (no need
to load them), from other external modules, and heading comments in
functions. Around
50 external references available on the Scilab FileExchange can
also be addressed.
* A single function to target and display contents in text mode in
the console, or as usual
in the help browser, or as well online (help, bugzilla, atoms,
forge, or even external websites).
*uman* aims to embrace as many Scilab ressources as possible.
* Just give a language code en | de | fr | ja | pt | ru | zh in
option, and you get the
right version of the page in the console or online. No need to
change the session's
language. Watching the reference en_US version of the page is now
straightforward,
without leaving your locales.
* Just display main infos in brief: path in help, calling sequences,
parameters, See
also. And be free to display more on request: description,
examples, history, parent
ToC... Or finally display the whole page with the "a" option. It is
so easy to copy/past
pieces of examples from the console... to the console!
* Are you used to use another scientific language? Almost 200
automatic redirections will
target the right or nearest Scilab equivalence for you. Other handy
shortcuts are also
defined for all users.
* Stucked with a bug? The "wb" option lets you list documented ones
related to the
faulty entry, for Scilab and many ATOMS packages. Online users
comments have
never been so easily reachable.
* Last but not least: get a smart text layout in console. Nested
lists of items, tables,
pieces of codes, notes and warnings, text styles.. are supported.
The code style of
calling sequences and examples is also improved.
*Supported OS* : Windows, Linux and Mac OS, with Scilab 5.5 and Scilab 6.
*uman* has been extensively tested for Windows, a few tested for
Linux, and is
almost untested for Mac OS. Issues may be reported in comments on
the ATOMS
page. Please have a look to the list of known limitations before
posting.
Try *uman*, and adopt it ;)
Best regards
Samuel Gougeon
