It's an argument that Daniel J. Bernstein made when proposing slashdoc. So M. Dickey is not alone. * https://cr.yp.to/slashdoc.html https://cr.yp.to/slashdoc.html I myself write doco in Docbook XML * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15779321 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15779321 generate HTML from that that can be read directly xdg-open /usr/local/share/doc/nosh/machineenv.html or on the WWW * http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/machineenv.html http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/machineenv.html and generate roff for man pages from it as well man machineenv Whereas --help output is auto-generated from the option definitions given to the command-line parser, much like libpopt does.
