generate rst page from help

Closed this issue · 7 comments

The --man option outputs a manpage, could we add something similar to print out an rst page to include in the website?

I am working in a script to extract the metadata

see: xtp/man branch
@junghans are there any csg binary that output a manual with the --man command? I have only tried the xtp command tools

Not yet, we only use —man in tools, but I would like to switch csg to it as well.

While you are at it could you add an option to output it to a file?

Well and could we build it into the application class instead of converting it with a python script?

@junghans sure, I am going to work on it 👍

@JensWehner or what do you think?

So we would have to implement an rst writer for the property class?
