scvim\_make\_help - strip SuperCollider HTML help to text, for use with scvim

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **scvim\_make\_help** command.

**scvim\_make\_help** is a script that strips SuperCollider HTML help to text format, for use with scvim. Users do NOT normally need to invoke it, since it is called by the main **scvim** script upon first run. The stripped files are placed in ~/.scvim by default, but this can be overridden by specifying SCVIM\_CACHE\_DIR environment variable.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

- **-s --source-dir directory**

  Specify the soruce directory to search for HTML help files.

- **-d --dest-dir directory**

  The Destination Directory for the processed Help Files.

- **-c --clean**

  Clean the Destination Directory before building the helpfiles.

- **-f --force**

  Do not prompt to see if the user is sure about deleting files.
