👑 HELPZTAGS

okay so bestie, this is helpztags — it's a section 1 (User Commands) girly, and she has ONE job: generate the help tags file for a directory. that's it. that's the whole vibe. and she does it flawlessly 💅

✨ NAME ✨

helpztags — generate the help tags file for directory 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

helpztags DIRS...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — helpztags goes through each directory you hand her and scans it for *.txt and *.txt.gz files. every single one of those files gets scanned for the tags that vim help files use. and then, for each directory, she generates a proper tags file. iconic behavior honestly ✨

⚠️ okay important: you must give her at least one directory. like, at minimum. if you don't? the program exits with an error. no tags, no mercy 💀
