See also the class HTMLFormatter. + + It's a hack. It does not produce a very clean HTML (there's an + extra '</ul>, for instance). But it's good enough for me. An empty + (or spaces-only) line is considered as a paragraph separator. + + I needed to produce HTML as a single line and thus this is the + default output. This is not part of the class and can be easily + changed in the wrapper function html_usage(). + + + +optional arguments: + -h, --help show this help message and exit + -a ARG_A, --arg-a ARG_A + Set value of A. Default: 1.1. + -b PARAM_B, --param-b PARAM_B + Set value of B. Default: 2. + -v, --verbose Be verbose + +For Interactive Use: + -d, --no-act Do nothing. Just print what is to be run + -c, --config Do nothing. Just show configuration + --html-usage Do nothing. Format help as HTML (a single line) + --html-usage-raw If html-usage: don't squash HTML to a single line + + Note that we use RawTextHelpFormatter as the parser, rather than + HelpFormatter itself. Otherwise splitting to paragarphs with empty + lines won't show up in the standard --help output. + + If you have no problem with that, you can remove the formatter_class + parameter above. + |
