I updated the challenge description to try to avoid this sort of misunderstanding. Does the update help?

wowoniu625 commented 3 months ago

i mean, when i in dojo man ,i input man /challenge/challenge,only see the following image

zardus commented 3 months ago

I understand. man /challenge/challenge is not the right solution, but I think the description was inadequate for people to avoid doing that. I updated the description to hopefully make it more clear.

wowoniu625 commented 3 months ago

ohoh,i understand , thank you very much

zardus commented 3 months ago

I also added a wrapper around the man command to catch this case for future learners :-)
