💖 TMEXPAND(1) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about tmexpand — the jed text-macro processor. yes that's its whole thing. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tmexpand — jed text-macro processor 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tmexpand [ --version]  [ -g]  [ -Iinclude-dir -Iinclude-dir ...]  [
input-file|-]  [ output-file|-]

like. she takes some flags, some include dirs, an input, and an output. simple. iconic. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

tmexpand is a simple jed-script program for expanding a text-macro file. that's it. that's the job. 🫶

and the way that both the S-Lang and jed documentation, plus the jedsoft.org web pages, are all written in text-macro format?? yeah. she's everywhere. you just didn't know. 👑

also, included in the tmexpand distribution you get:

  • macros for the creation of jedsoft.org style HTML pages 🌈
  • macros for producing linuxdoc and docbook SGML files 📄
  • macros for expanding S-Lang function text-macro documentation to the S-Lang help file format 🧚

a whole little starter pack. we love to see it. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --version — print version information. that's it, that's the flag, she just tells you who she is. ⭐
  • -g — load with _traceback set to 1. this is useful for debugging tmexpand itself. lowkey the detective mode. 🔍
  • -Iinclude-dir — append the directory to the macro-directory search list. stack it, repeat it, she'll keep looking. 💅

🎀 REQUIREMENTS 🎀

tmexpand is a S-Lang script that is processed by the jed editor. so you need jed, bestie, there's no way around it. 🙈

Version 0.99-17 or later of the jed editor is required to run the script. like, REQUIRED required. don't come at her with an older jed, she will simply not run. 💀

and to get the most out of tmexpand, jed should be compiled against S-Lang version 2. do that. your future self says thank you. 🌸

🌈 USAGE 🌈

This section is incomplete.

(not me leaving a section incomplete. the AUDACITY. but fr fr that's what it says. 😭)

💀 BUGS 💀

Debugging the output when something goes wrong can be tricky. yeah. that's the bug note. she said "good luck bestie" and moved on. 🙈
