💖 HXMULTITOC 💖

okay so this is hxmultitoc, part of the HTML-XML-utils crew, and it makes a table of content for a whole set of HTML files. like, multiple. a group project, but for tables of contents. slay. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

hxmultitoc — create a table of content for a set of HTML files 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hxmultitoc [ -x ] [ -s preample ] [ -e postample ] [ -l low  | -h high
| -b base  | -c configfile  | file ] ...

bestie look at that last line. -l, -h, -b, -c and file are all chilling in the same alternation. so you're picking one of those, not stacking them. and then the whole bracket group gets a ... so you can do it again and again. iconic behavior tbh. 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

[ToDo]

that's it. that's the whole description. not me reading an entire manpage's DESCRIPTION section and getting a literal [ToDo] 😭 the author said "I'll finish this later" and then did not finish it later. it's giving unfinished homework energy. it's giving "the vibes are immaculate but the documentation is in its flop era."

so like, lowkey: the synopsis is all we've got, no cap. no option explanations, no examples, no env vars, no exit statuses, no bugs section, nothing. the mystery is the moment. ✨

real talk though — don't go making stuff up about what -x, -s, -e, -l, -h, -b or -c actually do, because this page never tells us. respect the [ToDo]. 🙈

and that's the whole thing, bestie — short, sweet, and extremely unfinished. this was version 7.x, dated 10 Jul 2011, straight outta HTML-XML-utils. 🎀✨💜
