SNOPEA(1)

💖 SNOPEA 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the CSNOBOL4 Manual section and this is page SNOPEA(1) — she's a lil command-line icon who takes your snopea docs and makes them pretty for man pages or the web. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

snopea — convert SNOBOL snopea documentation to roff and HTML 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

snopea [--format format] [--section section] [--page pagename] in out

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The snopea(1) command converts embedded documentation in snopea(7) format to man(7) or HTML format. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she takes snopea-format docs and turns them into either a man page or a web page, your choice, main character energy only. 👑

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --format — takes either roff or html as an argument. and if you don't say anything? no worries, the output format gets inferred from the output file name. she's psychic like that 🔮 (otherwise the output format will be inferred from the output file name).
• --section — takes a single digit section number. don't feel like typing it? totally fine, the section number gets inferred from the output file name. (otherwise the section number will be inferred from the output file name).
• --page — takes a page name as an argument. skip it and she'll just infer the page name from the output file name, nbd. (otherwise the page name will be inferred from the output file name).

lowkey the theme here is: every one of these is optional because she'll read the output file name and figure it out herself. girl is observant. 🧚

🚫 NOT CONFORMING TO 🚫

Inspired by (but not compatible with) Perl POD format. so like, she's giving POD's cousin, not POD's twin. do not expect them to match, bestie, they are NOT the same person. 💀
