No command line documentation found on read-the-docs. #336

Open daniel-birket opened 3 years ago

I have recently added yacas to the tldr database. See https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/pull/6263.

In the course of researching the yacas command-line parameters and switches, I failed to find any command line documentation in the new read-the-docs manual. I found what I needed on the old sourceforge site at http://yacas.sourceforge.net/introchapter2.html, but that is problematic to access if you don't know to look for it.

Please consider saving the old command line documentation while it remains. Implementing "yacas --help" would be great too. BTW, my homebrew install of yacas on MacOS lacks a man page. I see that there is a man folder here and a yacas.1.rst file, but this file does not cover the flags described in the sourceforge page, nor flags that work on my version, like --server.. I see other differences too, like -b and -i. I suspect my version is old. I have 1.9.1.

You're unfortunately right with all of your observations. Even worse, some command line options changed in the mean time. I'll document it somewhere in getting started.

I write. Just ask.
