Class: Amp::Help::MarkdownHelpEntry

Inherits:
HelpEntry show all
Defined in:
lib/amp-front/help/help.rb

Overview

Represents a help entry that filters its help text through a Markdown parser before returning.

This makes it very easy to make very pretty help files, that are smart enough to look good in both HTML form and when printed to a terminal. This uses our additions to the markdown parser to provide an “ANSI” output format.

Instance Method Details

#text(options = {}) ⇒ String

Returns the help text to display for this entry.

For a markdown entry, we run this through Maruku and our special to_ansi output formatter. This will make things like this underlined and these bolded. Code blocks will be given a colored background, and headings are accentuated.
