🦋 RD2(1) — the rd2 girlies' handbook 🦋

okay so bestie, you found the rd2 page, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. welcome to the General Commands Manual, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let me tell you everything.

✨ NAME ✨

rd2 — a converter from RD to other mark-up language. that's it, that's the girl. she takes one thing and turns it into another thing. glow-up queen. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rd2 [-r <visitor>] [options] <file>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🫖: rd2 takes its input from file and dumps its output straight into STDOUT. no side quests, no extra files, just vibes flowing out to your terminal.

and the fun part? you get to pick your visitor, which is what decides the output format. think of it like choosing an outfit for the same person — same source, different lewk 💅

like, for example:

  • use "rd/rd2html-lib.rb" to translate it into HTML
  • use "rd/rd2man-lib.rb" to translate it into roff with man macros

pick your fighter, basically. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so lowkey, the options aren't listed all cute on this page. instead, the manpage itself is like "go read the help output, bestie" — and honestly? valid. so:

please go read the output of

% rd2 --help

and also

% rd2 -r rd/rd2html-lib.rb --help

the second one is the secret sauce btw, bc it shows you the help for that specific visitor. very iykyk. 🔥

✨ FILES ✨

  • ~/.rd2rc — User configration file. this is where your personal settings live, tucked away in your home dir like a little diary. 🎀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • ruby(1) — yeah she's a Ruby girl, of course she's friends with ruby(1). 🦋
ngl this page is short but it's giving efficient. go run --help, pick your visitor, and let rd2 cook. no cap. 😭💖

that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 — this lil' cutie comes from the General Commands Manual, the RD2(1) page, dated May 2026. so if you're reading this in May 2026, hi, you're exactly on time, main character behavior. ⭐🌈
