Robin Krahl f92fc3e9f6 Refactor HTML processing into viewer::utils This patch moves the HTML processing (i. e. syntax highlighting for code snippets) into the viewer::utils method. This allows us to use it for other viewers too.		2020-10-04 19:52:23 +02:00

$ rusty-man rusty-man | head -5
rusty-man                       Module rusty-man                       rusty-man

DESCRIPTION
      rusty-man is a command-line viewer for documentation generated by
      `rustdoc`.

Example Usage

Before running rusty-man, make sure that you generated the documentation with cargo doc:

$ cd rusty-man && cargo doc

Then you can open the documentation for an item:

$ rusty-man kuchiki::NodeRef

You don’t have to specificy the full item name:

$ rusty-man NodeRef

If the documentation is not placed in ./target/doc or the Rust installation directory, you have to manually set the source path using the -s/--source option:

$ rusty-man --source my/other/crate/target/doc io::Error

If there are multiple matches for the keyword, rusty-man will show you a list of all matching items:

$ rusty-man --source my/other/crate/target/doc u8
Found mulitple matches for u8 – select one of:

[ 0 ] core::u8: The 8-bit unsigned integer type.
[ 1 ] std::u8: The 8-bit unsigned integer type.

> 1

For more usage information, run rusty-man --help.

Installation

To install rusty-man from source, clone this repository and use cargo to build the project, or use cargo install. See the INSTALL.md file for more information. rusty-man is also available as a package for these distributions:

Arch Linux: rusty-man in the Arch User Repository

rusty-man should run on all platforms, but the rich viewer is only available for ANSI terminals. If you have trouble running rusty-man on your platform or if you want to help porting rusty-man to other platforms, please let me know.

Integrations

vim

You can set rusty-man as the keyword program with set keywordprg=rusty-man and then use K to open the documentation for the item under the cursor. If you want to apply this setting for all Rust files, add it to the ftplugin/rust.vim file in your vim runtime directory (e. g. ~/.vim).
