/ davidw@dedasys.com (David N. Welton) was heard to say:
| I wanted to ask after something that's been bugging me for a while.
|
| To wit, that in most places, one needs to use
|
| <option><optional>foo<optional><option>
|
| whereas in cmdsynopsis, one uses
|
| <arg choice="opt">...</arg>
|
| It would be nice to have one, consistent way of describing
| options/arguments to a command, both inside and outside of
| cmdsynopsis. This has been confusing for some of the people I'm
| working with on a documentation project.
Good point. Put this in an RFE for me, please?
| Or am I just not understanding some aspect of the current design?
No, I don't think so.
Be seeing you,
norm
