  Invocation:
    ldoc [options] <file>
    ldoc --version

  Options:
    -d,--dir		(default doc) output directory
    -o,--output		(default 'index') output name
    -v,--verbose	verbose
    -a,--all		show local functions, etc, in docs
    -q,--quiet		suppress output
    -m,--module		module docs as text
    -s,--style		(default !) directory for style sheet (ldoc.css)
    -l,--template	(default !) directory for template (ldoc.ltp)
    -p,--project	(default ldoc) project name
    -t,--title		(default Reference) page title
    -f,--format		(default plain) formatting - can be markdown, discount or plain
    -b,--package	(default .) top-level package basename (needed for module(...))
    -x,--ext		(default html) output file extension
    -c,--config		(default config.ld) configuration name
    -u,--unqualified	don't show package name in sidebar links
    -i,--ignore		ignore any 'no doc comment or no module' warnings
    -X,--not_luadoc	break LuaDoc compatibility. Descriptions may continue after tags.
    -D,--define		(default none) set a flag to be used in config.ld
    -C,--colon		use colon style
       --lls		use lua-language-server style
    -N,--no_args_infer	don't infer arguments from source
    -B,--boilerplate	ignore first comment in source files
    -M,--merge		allow module merging
    -S,--simple		no return or params, no summary
    -O,--one		one-column output layout
    -V,--version	show version information
    --date		(default system) use this date in generated doc, set to empty string to skip the timestamp
    --dump		debug output dump
    --filter		(default none) filter output as Lua data (e.g pl.pretty.dump)
    --tags		(default none) show all references to given tags, comma-separated
    --fatalwarnings	non-zero exit status on any warning
    --testing		reproducible build; no date or version on output
    --icon		(default none) an image that will be displayed under the project name on all pages
    --multimodule	allow using @module, @script, @file, etc. multiple times in a file
    --unsafe_no_sandbox	disables sandbox and allows using `import` command in config.ld

  <file> (optional string) source file or directory containing source

  `ldoc .` reads options from an `config.ld` file in same directory;
  `ldoc -c path/to/myconfig.ld <file>` reads options from `path/to/myconfig.ld`
  and processes <file> if 'file' was not defined in the ld file.
