Fixes #725 (i guess?)
I capitalised the place-holders
options
andpath
to make them consistent withPATTERN
&al.I added documentation of the positional arguments to the man page
I added a note to both the man page and the usage help to clarify that an explicit
PATH
overrides glob/ignore rules. This could possibly be clearer i guess — a glob/ignore rule is only overridden if the path as given on the command line contains a segment that actually matches it — but it didn't seem worth writing a whole paragraph aboutI'm not sure when this became an issue, but when i regenerated the man page all of the long option names were broken — Pandoc had converted
--foo
into–foo
(with an en dash). I updatedconvert-to-man
to disable 'smart typography', which seems to have fixed it for Pandoc 2.0.6; hopefully it doesn't cause issues for contributors on older versions
