WMD(1)
π WMD β like, the WML docs browser, bestie π
okay so real talk, this is wmd from section 1 of the manual β the Website META Language Documentation Browser β¨ and honestly? she's a whole vibe. iSelect, curses, full-screen menusβ¦ we ate. π
πΈ VERSION πΈ
2.32.0 β no cap, that's the one. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
wmd [-V] [-h]
that's it. two flags. lowkey iconic. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so basically β this is the documentation browsing frontend to the Website META Language (WML), which is a free HTML generation toolkit for Unix. like, free free. go touch grass and then come back and generate some HTML. π±
if you want the full lore on WML itself, go read wml(1) β she's the main character, this is the spin-off. π
and here's the fun part: this frontend uses the Curses-based tool iSelect to give you an interactive full-screen selection of, literally, every WML manual page that's available. every single one. π
so when do you use it? when you're deep in your shell session, mid-WML, and you're like "bestie i NEED the docs right now" β boom, wmd, quick access, no scrolling through files like a peasant. π it's giving convenience. it's giving efficiency. it's giving "i know my tools." β¨
π OPTIONS π
