Docs at https://towncrier--435.org.readthedocs.build/en/435/ are awesome
I will not have time soon to look into the details of this, but I think is best to have this merged.
If anything needs improvements we can create smaller PRs for that change and discuss it.
I agree that the current docs are a mess, so this looks so much better.
Thanks for https://diataxis.fr/
I wasn't aware of it.
Again
Awesome work!

I think this ok for now.
In the future maybe we can use something like https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-click/ to automatically keep the reference up to date.

Yes and no…I think the reference docs should do more than parroting --help
output. Maybe some kind of combination idk.

I agree that in the docs we can do more than copy/pasting --help
But we should make sure the --help
output is useful and can serve as documentation.
Having all the --help
output in the docs can serve as a base-line.
But if there is anyting important, I would prefer to have it inside the --help
output and not keep it only for the HTML docs :)
I use the --help
command more often than checking the HTML / narrative docs for a project.
Thanks for the quick review Adi! Hope this lays the ground for better docs in the future! |

towncrier 22.12.0 (2022-12-21) ============================== No changes since the previous release candidate. towncrier 22.12.0rc1 (2022-12-20) ================================= Features -------- - Added ``--keep`` option to the ``build`` command that allows generating a newsfile, but keeps the newsfragments in place. This option can not be used together with ``--yes``. (`#129 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/129>`_) - Python 3.11 is now officially supported. (`#427 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/427>`_) - You can now create fragments that are not associated with issues. Start the name of the fragment with ``+`` (e.g. ``+anything.feature``). The content of these orphan news fragments will be included in the release notes, at the end of the category corresponding to the file extension. To help quickly create a unique orphan news fragment, ``towncrier create +.feature`` will append a random string to the base name of the file, to avoid name collisions. (`#428 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/428>`_) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - Improved contribution documentation. (`#415 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/415>`_) - Correct a typo in the readme that incorrectly documented custom fragments in a format that does not work. (`#424 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/424>`_) - The documentation has been restructured and (hopefully) improved. (`#435 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/435>`_) - Added a Markdown-based how-to guide. (`#436 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/436>`_) - Defining custom fragments using a TOML array is not deprecated anymore. (`#438 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/438>`_) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - Default branch for `towncrier check` is now "origin/main" instead of "origin/master". If "origin/main" does not exist, fallback to "origin/master" with a deprecation warning. (`#400 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/400>`_) Misc ---- - `#406 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/406>`_, `#408 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/408>`_, `#411 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/411>`_, `#412 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/412>`_, `#413 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/413>`_, `#414 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/414>`_, `#416 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/416>`_, `#418 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/418>`_, `#419 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/419>`_, `#421 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/421>`_, `#429 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/429>`_, `#430 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/430>`_, `#431 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/431>`_, `#434 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/434>`_, `#446 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/446>`_, `#447 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/447>`_ towncrier 22.8.0 (2022-08-29) ============================= No significant changes since the previous release candidate. towncrier 22.8.0.rc1 (2022-08-28) ================================= Features -------- - Make the check subcommand succeed for branches that change the news file This should enable the ``check`` subcommand to be used as a CI lint step and not fail when a pull request only modifies the configured news file (i.e. when the news file is being assembled for the next release). (`#337 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/337>`_) - Added support to tables in toml settings, which provides a more intuitive way to configure custom types. (`#369 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/369>`_) - The `towncrier create` command line now has a new `-m TEXT` argument that is used to define the content of the newly created fragment. (`#374 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/374>`_) Bugfixes -------- - The extra newline between the title and rendered content when using ``--draft`` is no longer inserted. (`#105 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/105>`_) - The detection of duplicate release notes was fixed and recording changes of same version is no longer triggered. Support for having the release notes for each version in a separate file is working again. This is a regression introduced in VERSION 19.9.0rc1. (`#391 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/391>`_) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - Improve ``CONTRIBUTING.rst`` and add PR template. (`#342 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/342>`_) - Move docs too the main branch and document custom fragment types. (`#367 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/367>`_) - The CLI help messages were updated to contain more information. (`#384 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/384>`_) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - Support for all Python versions older than 3.7 has been dropped. (`#378 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/378>`_) Misc ---- - `#292 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/292>`_, `#330 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/330>`_, `#366 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/366>`_, `#376 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/376>`_, `#377 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/377>`_, `#380 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/380>`_, `#381 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/381>`_, `#382 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/382>`_, `#383 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/383>`_, `#393 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/393>`_, `#399 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/399>`_, `#402 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/402>`_ towncrier 21.9.0 (2022-02-04) ============================= Features -------- - towncrier --version` was added to the command line interface to show the product version. (`#339 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/339>`_) - Support Toml v1 syntax with tomli on Python 3.6+ (`#354 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/354>`_) Bugfixes -------- - Stop writing title twice when ``title_format`` is specified. (`#346 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/346>`_) - Disable universal newlines when reading TOML (`#359 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/359>`_) Misc ---- - `#332 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/332>`_, `#333 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/333>`_, `#334 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/334>`_, `#338 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/338>`_ towncrier 21.3.0 (2021-04-02) ============================= No significant changes since the previous release candidate. towncrier 21.3.0.rc1 (2021-03-21) ================================= Features -------- - Ticket number from file names will be stripped down to avoid ticket links such as ``#7``. (`#126 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/126>`_) - Allow definition of the project ``version`` and ``name`` in the configuration file. This allows use of towncrier seamlessly with non-Python projects. (`#165 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/165>`_) - Improve news fragment file name parsing to allow using file names like ``123.feature.1.ext`` which are convenient when one wants to use an appropriate extension (e.g. ``rst``, ``md``) to enable syntax highlighting. (`#173 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/173>`_) - The new ``--edit`` option of the ``create`` subcommand launches an editor for entering the contents of the newsfragment. (`#275 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/275>`_) - CPython 3.8 and 3.9 are now part of our automated test matrix and are officially supported. (`#291 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/291>`_) - When searching for the project, first check for an existing importable instance. This helps if the version is only available in the installed version and not the source. (`#297 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/297>`_) - Support building with PEP 517. (`#314 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/314>`_) Bugfixes -------- - Configuration errors found during command line execution now trigger a message to stderr and no longer show a traceback. (`#84 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/84>`_) - A configuration error is triggered when the newsfragment files couldn't be discovered. (`#85 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/85>`_) - Invoking towncrier as `python -m towncrier` works. (`#163 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/163>`_) - ``check`` subcommand defaults to UTF-8 encoding when ``sys.stdout.encoding`` is ``None``. This happens, for example, with Python 2 on GitHub Actions or when the output is piped. (`#175 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/175>`_) - Specifying ``title_format`` disables default top line creation to avoid duplication. (`#180 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/180>`_) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - The README now mentions the possibility to name the configuration file ``towncrier.toml`` (in addition to ``pyproject.toml``). (`#172 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/172>`_) - ``start_line`` corrected to ``start_string`` in the readme to match the long standing implementation. (`#277 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/277>`_) towncrier 19.9.0 (2021-03-20) ============================= No significant changes. towncrier 19.9.0rc1 (2019-09-16) ================================ Features -------- - Add ``create`` subcommand, which can be used to quickly create a news fragment command in the location defined by config. (`#4 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/4>`_) - Add support for subcommands, meaning the functionality of the ``towncrier`` executable is now replaced by the ``build`` subcommand:: $ towncrier build --draft A new ``check`` subcommand is exposed. This is an alternative to calling the ``towncrier.check`` module manually:: $ towncrier check Calling ``towncrier`` without a subcommand will result in a call to the ``build`` subcommand to ensure backwards compatibility. This may be removed in a future release. (`#144 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/144>`_) - Towncrier's templating now allows configuration of the version header. *CUSTOM TEMPLATE USERS PLEASE NOTE: You will need to add the version header information to your template!* (`#147 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/147>`_) - towncrier now accepts the --config argument to specify a custom configuration file (`#157 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/157>`_) - There is now the option for ``all_bullets = false`` in the configuration. Setting ``all_bullets`` to false means that news fragments have to include the bullet point if they should be rendered as enumerations, otherwise they are rendered directly (this means fragments can include a header.). It is necessary to set this option to avoid (incorrect) automatic indentation of multiline fragments that do not include bullet points. The ``single-file-no-bullets.rst`` template gives an example of using these options. (`#158 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/158>`_) - The ``single_file`` option can now be added to the configuration file. When set to ``true``, the filename key can now be formattable with the ``name``, ``version``, and ``project_date`` format variables. This allows subsequent versions to be written out to new files instead of appended to an existing one. (`#161 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/161>`_) - You can now specify Towncrier-bundled templates in your configuration file. Available templates are `default`, `hr-between-versions` (as used in attrs), and `single-file-no-bullets`. (`#162 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/162>`_) Bugfixes -------- - Accept newsfragment filenames with multiple dots, like `fix-1.2.3.bugfix`. (`#142 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/142>`_) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - The `--pyproject` option for `towncrier check` is now replaced with `--config`, for consistency with other commands. (`#162 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/162>`_)
Sorry, this is another big one 😇
I think our docs are our weakest point and the sole reason, why towncrier isn't more widely used.
There's tons of duplication, missing information and flat-out lies.
I would love to write a how-to for #128 but this needs some more big-picture work.
Here's some more notes:
