## Installation
To install rusty-man, clone this repository and use cargo to build the project.
See the [`INSTALL.md`](./INSTALL.md) file for more information.
Use crossterm instead of termion With this patch, we replace the termion dependency with crossterm. This should make it possible to compile and run rusty-man on other platforms than Unix.
2020-07-24 11:18:35 +00:00
rusty-man should run on all platforms supported by [`crossterm`][]. If you
have trouble running rusty-man on your platform or if you want to help porting

## Minimum Supported Rust Version
Add --viewer option and plain text viewer This patch adds a new --viewer command line option that lets the user select a viewer that displays the documentation. It also adds a default viewer implementation that uses html2text to generate plain text from the HTML documentation. html2text requires the ptr_cast feature and we use the Option::as_deref method in the viewer implementation, so we have to update the minimum supported Rust version to 1.40.
2020-07-16 19:01:29 +00:00
This crate supports Rust 1.40 or later.
