👑 CODERAY — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is the General Commands Manual page for coderay, and we're gonna walk through it together. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving ✨utility✨ — let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

coderay — scans a file and generates syntax-highlighted html output 🎀

like. it looks at ur code and makes it pretty in HTML. that's the whole vibe. iconic fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

coderay [options] [filename]

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. options, then a filename, boom. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk — this manual page documents briefly the coderay command. that's literally what it says, no cap. it's the short lil intro version. keep that in mind, bestie 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's where it gets fun. two options, both absolute slayers:

  • -<lang> — specify the language of the input file. so like, you tell it what kind of code it's looking at. periodt.
  • -<format> — specify the format of the output file. the default is HTML 🎀 (yes, uppercase HTML, that's how it's written, don't come for me)
note: those angle brackets are literal, bestie — -<lang> and -<format> are placeholders where you drop in the actual language and format. it's giving "fill in the blank" 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • run coderay without any arguments to see the full usage message 👀 — that's the move when you want the whole tea, not just this lil summary
  • coderay_stylesheet(1) — another manual page, go look at it 🧚
