While at it, I've noticed that sometimes there is a dot at the end of a description of an option, and sometimes there is no dot:
Dot at the end in docs for changes
:
checkin.c:** --dotfiles Include files beginning with a dot (".").
No dot at the end in docs for add
:
add.c:** --dotfiles include files beginning with a dot (".")
There you'll also notice that it varies whether or not the description starts with a capital letter.
Should I make a patch for inital capital and no dot at the end?

Those bits were written by many people over more than a decade, so some degree of inconsistency is not surprising. Feel free to post any improvements you make in that regard and we'll get them integrated.

I'll give it a shot. By the way, what about --dry-run
vs. --dryrun
? Both are being used.

what about --dry-run vs. --dryrun? Both are being used.
There was a long discussion about that a few years back, but i think it predated the forum. dry-run is (IIRC) the current convention but we can't just go swapping out flags out from under people.

dry-run is (IIRC) the current convention but we can't just go swapping out flags out from under people.
FWIW I agree, but maybe there is a possibility to add everywhere the preferred form and only this one shows in help text? Or even make the obsolete form just an "alias" for the preferred one? This way, old habits/scripts would still work, but will not create any new discrepancy...

Here's the diff which tries to standardise on using initial capital letter, no period at the end of the option description, order of short/long option, imperative verbs.

Here's the diff which tries to standardise on using initial capital letter, no period at the end of the option description, order of short/long option, imperative verbs.
I really appreciate this kind of care and consistency in the help texts of any program. Usually it's difficult to achieve in large projects maintained by several people. Thank you for working on that.
But what is the rationale behind removing all periods? The option descriptions are full sentences, and some of them contain more than one sentence. IMHO a period at the end of all descriptions is not only clearer for reading, but required by the punctuation rules.

FWIW i agree. i'm one of those people who feel that lines of text without a dot at the end just look odd.
In any case, i will apply ever-so-slightly modified forms of the patches later on today. Thank you, Kirill, for the contributions.

My view on this is that list of options is just that, a list, and a list which would look strange in a terminal if all elements ended with a period, even if some are full sentences. Many descriptions are not full sentences either, and those would certainly look strange with a period at the end. Thus, for consistency, I did what I did. Which also resulted in multi sentence descriptions to have the final period chopped off.

My view on this is that list of options is just that, a list, and a list which would look strange in a terminal if all elements ended with a period, even if some are full sentences.
I see your point, but IMHO the question is what the contents are, not the fact that they are displayed as a list or a table. For example, imagine a similar list with two elements per item: and author and a famous quote. The fact the quote is part of a list item is not a reason to change its own internal punctuation. The final period (or ellipsis or whatever) is part of the quote, not part of the list item as a whole. I see no difference with this case. On the other hand, a list of authors and theirs birthdays would not require a period after the dates.
Many descriptions are not full sentences either, and those would certainly strange with a period at the end.
I have found some of them, for example:
--date-override DATE DATE to use instead of 'now'
I don't know if it's considered a full sentence or not in English, but anyway, for consistency, such descriptions could be reworded after the general convention:
--date-override DATE Use DATE instead of 'now'
Other cases are full sentences, but need more changes to make them imperative:
--file The comment text is really just a file name to read it from
--private Branch is private (i.e., remains local)
Possible alternatives:
--file Make the comment text be really just a file name to read it from
--private Make the branch private (i.e., remains local)
Which also resulted in multi sentence descriptions to have the final period chopped off.
I understand the coherency, but the result looks strange in those cases.
Out of curiosity, I've checked several manual pages, and all of them respect
the punctuation of the option descriptions. When the period is missing, it's
clearly an oversight, like -b
and -c
(compared to -A
and -D
) in this
excerpt from Mutt's manual:
-A alias
An expanded version of the given alias is passed to stdout.
-a file [...]
Attach a file to your message using MIME. When attaching single or multiple files,
separating filenames and recipient addresses with "--" is mandatory, e.g. mutt -a
image.jpg -- addr1 or mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2. The -a option must be
placed at the end of command line options.
-b address
Specify a blind-carbon-copy (BCC) recipient
-c address
Specify a carbon-copy (CC) recipient
-d level
If mutt was compiled with +DEBUG log debugging output to ~/.muttdebug0. Level can
range from 1-5 and effects verbosity. A value of 2 is recommended.
-D Print the value of all configuration options to stdout.

Here's the diff which tries to standardise on using initial capital letter, no period at the end of the option description, order of short/long option, imperative verbs.
Just FYI i'm working on this now but it will take a while. i agree with Marcos that the periods are "more correct," BUT we seem to have about a 50/50 split in terms of their usage/non-usage, which means there are lots of help flags to go through:
$ f help --everything | grep -c -e '^ *-'
862
(Ouch.)
That said: one compelling reason for leaving the periods off is that Richard's tendency seems to be to write them without the periods. Thus i'm torn on this point :/. My current (this moment, subject to change) preference seems to be to add a period only when we have more than one statement (see below for one compelling argument for that). Feel free to argue one way or the other, noting that i'm (possibly) not the final arbiter.
If we look at some common CLI tools, they are consistent within themselves but inconsistent with regards to each other:
patch --help
: Starting caps, ending periods.grep --help
: starting lower, no periodsman --help
: same as grepemacs --help
: same as grep but shows flags in--long, -short
format.- My own apps: Caps, periods. (Noting that there is something to be said for the lower noise level of missing periods, grammar be damned.)
Noting that (grep, man, emacs) never seem to use more than one statement, whereas we often have 2-3 sentences of text.
The changes i'm making based on your patch are:
- Start help with caps.
End with a period(see note above about being torn).- "mime type" ==> "mimetype". (That's something we discussed long ago as well.)
- Ordering of flags as
-S|--long
. A contributor reordered most of those a few months ago, and you've caught the outliers. - Verb forms, e.g. "outputs" ==> "output"
At least one of the blocks you patched are internal-only documentation so i will leave those as-is (diff_options()
). The --help
text and internal text can be distinguished by the existence of the word COMMAND:
or WEBPAGE:
at the top of the comment block. All of those get processed as --help
resp. /help
docs, but no other comment blocks get processed that way.

Just FYI i'm working on this now but it will take a while.
There's an initial go at this in fossil:4cb50c4ef35d0ab2. The periods i only modified for consistency within a given command/page's help text, deferring the decision on whether to globally lop them off or add them for the time being. Fundamentally i agree with Marco that periods are a real thing, but also agree that they're "just noise" on brief statements. Multi-statement help text "needs" them, though, in order to avoid triggering OCD quirks in some folks (who, me?). That, in turn, argues for having them everywhere for consistency. Alas, there is no one right answer for such things.
(13) By Kirill M (Kirill) on 2021-03-11 15:02:37 in reply to 12 [link] [source]
Great! I'm happy as long as there's no period after brief statements, and as long as there's consistent initial capital letter. I too prefer periods after full sentences.
Now, there're also some inconsistencies in how the same option is being described in various commands, e.g. --repository (is it a repository, or a repository file, or the repository file?):
-R|--repository FILE Extract artifacts from repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Run commands on repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Extract artifacts from repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Extract info from repository FILE
-R|--repository REPOSITORY Deconstruct given REPOSITORY.
-R|--repository FILE Extract info from repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Extract info from repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Extract info from repository FILE.
-R|--repository REPO Local repository to pull into
-R|--repository REPO Local repository to push from
-R|--repository REPO Local repository to sync with
-R|--repository REPO The repository file to commit to.
-R|--repository FILE
-R|--repository FILE Use FILE as the repository
-R|--repository FILE Use FILE as the repository

periods are a real thing, but also agree that they're "just noise" on brief statements. Multi-statement help text "needs" them, though,
I tend to think more linguistically than visually, and thus I'm less inclined to make such disctintions or exceptions, but your criteria seems reasonable, and at least it's a clear convention to follow.
No doubt the revision done by Kirill is a good improvement.

Mostly removing periods, but some changes from lowercase to uppercase at the beginning of the option description, and also addition of a comma.
