πŸ’– WMD β€” like, the WML docs browser, bestie πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is wmd from section 1 of the manual β€” the Website META Language Documentation Browser ✨ and honestly? she's a whole vibe. iSelect, curses, full-screen menus… we ate. πŸ“

🌸 VERSION 🌸

2.32.0 β€” no cap, that's the one. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

wmd [-V] [-h]

that's it. two flags. lowkey iconic. 😌


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

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. 🌱

if you want the full lore on WML itself, go read wml(1) β€” she's the main character, this is the spin-off. πŸ‘‘

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. πŸ’€

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. πŸ™ˆ it's giving convenience. it's giving efficiency. it's giving "i know my tools." ✨


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -V, --version β€” spits out the version identification string of WMd. use this to figure out which version of an installed WML toolkit you're actually running, because guessing is not the move, bestie. 🫢
  • -h, --help β€” prints the usage summary page. classic. the "hello, what do you do" flag. πŸ’–
