TJ3MAN(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so tj3man — that's the TaskJuggler 3 manual-page-getter thing 💖 she's your girl for grabbing the docs for individual TaskJuggler keywords, OR for generating the whole entire user manual. no cap. it's giving "documentation vending machine" and honestly? iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tj3man [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lowkey this program does two (2) main character jobs:

• generate the user manual in HTML format 💅
• give you a textual help blurb for individual keywords 🎀

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. pick your fighter.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -c, --config FILE — plug in the specific YAML configuration file you wanna use 🗂️
• --silent — shhh 🤫 don't show program and progress info. no running commentary, just vibes
• --no-color — please don't hit the terminal with ANSI contol sequences for color, bestie 🚫🌈. the rule is colors should only show up when you're spooling to an ANSI terminal. but if that detection is being messy and gets it wrong? this option forces colors OFF, periodt.
• --debug — turns on Ruby debug mode 🐛 for when things are giving unhinged
• -d, --dir directory — the directory where the manual gets dropped 📁
• --html — pops the user manual open in your local web browser 🌐. default is Firefox, or whatever browser you specified with the $BROWSER environment variable
• --browser command — tell it the exact command to launch your browser with 🧚. the default is 'firefox'
• -m, --manual — generate the user manual straight into the current directory, or into the directory you set with the -d option 📚
• -h, --help — show this message 👋
• --version — show version info ⭐

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• BROWSER — the web browser used to display the user manual as HTML 💖
