[docs] Add output to all examples
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When viewing examples, it is very hard to figure out what they do without running them, which requires substantial efforts.  I have added the output of all examples at the top.

Also, two tiny spelling mistakes - in the readme and in the rename_all.

In case anyone wants to auto-generate something similar, I used this helper script, and made a few minor line manipulations afterwards.

```bash

run() {
  RES=$(cargo run -q --example "$1" -- --help 2> /dev/null | sed -e 's#^#//! #' )
  { echo "//! Running this example with --help prints this message:" ; echo "//! -----------------------------------------------------" ; echo "$RES" ; echo "//! -----------------------------------------------------" ; echo "" ; cat "examples/$1.rs" ; } > "$1.rs"
  rm "examples/$1.rs"
  mv "$1.rs" "examples/"
}

run after_help
run at_least_two
```

//! How to use doc comments in place of `help/long_help`.
//!
//! Running this example with --help prints this message:
//! -----------------------------------------------------
//! basic 0.3.25
//! A basic example for the usage of doc comments as replacement of the arguments `help`, `long_help`, `about` and
//! `long_about`
//!
//! USAGE:
//! doc_comments [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>
//!
//! FLAGS:
//! -f, --first-flag
//! Just use doc comments to replace `help`, `long_help`, `about` or `long_about` input
//!
//! -h, --help
//! Prints help information
//!
//! -s, --second-flag
//! Split between `help` and `long_help`.
//!
//! In the previous case structopt is going to present the whole comment both as text for the `help` and the
//! `long_help` argument.
//!
//! But if the doc comment is formatted like this example -- with an empty second line splitting the heading and
//! the rest of the comment -- only the first line is used as `help` argument. The `long_help` argument will
//! still contain the whole comment.
//!
//! ## Attention
//!
//! Any formatting next to empty lines that could be used inside a doc comment is currently not preserved. If
//! lists or other well formatted content is required it is necessary to use the related structopt argument with
//! a raw string as shown on the `third_flag` description.
//! -t, --third-flag
//! This is a raw string.
//!
//! It can be used to pass well formatted content (e.g. lists or source
//! code) in the description:
//!
//! - first example list entry
//! - second example list entry
//!
//! -V, --version
//! Prints version information
//!
//!
//! SUBCOMMANDS:
//! first The same rules described previously for flags. Are also true for in regards of sub-commands
//! help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
//! second Applicable for both `about` an `help`
