It strikes me that clap_mangen also generates an incorrect synopsis for arguments with For the following program: fn main() {
let cmd = Command::new("testing clap").arg(
clap::Arg::new("config")
.action(clap::ArgAction::Append)
.help("some config file")
.short('c')
.visible_short_alias('C')
.long("config")
.visible_alias("conf"),
);
clap_mangen::Man::new(cmd.clone())
.render(&mut std::io::stdout())
.unwrap();
} You get the following output:
I think it should be something more like the following:
But I'm not sure. |

It was noticed that between clap-rs#4443 and clap-rs#4432, an issue in the behavior was that the derive api handles tasks with values slightly differently than the declarative api. Added a test to show parity between declaritive and derive api.

Fixes #4410.
The help generator for the main clap package uses the
Arg::is_takes_value_set()
method to determine whether it should show a default argument. (SeeArg::stylize_arg_suffix
, on line 4148 ofarg.rs
.)I ported the same logic over to clap_mangen, so boolean flag arguments no longer show
[default=false]
(or[default=0]
for repeatable options), which is not valid.I also noticed that the generated synopsis does not add a
...
ellipsis for repeatable flags, so I added that as well.Finally, I updated the snapshot tests to reflect the above changes.

For the following program (this is essentially
