  1 23 1.8 Rust

  Crate to generate files in ROFF format (Rust)

If anyone would be interested in checking it out, here are the links: crates.io docs.rs github

• ht

  39 4,722 8.9 Rust

  Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

You do still need to turn it into roff somehow. I've had good results using help2man to transform clap's --help output, though it wasn't plug-and-play: specialized help template, extra bit of handwritten roff, help2man invocation. (Not all of that is necessary for simpler cases.)

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• ripgrep

  348 44,747 9.3 Rust

  ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

ripgrep uses asciidoctor (build script, template, clap config) but it seems even more involved, there's a custom layer over clap to make it introspectable and custom logic to format the arguments as asciidoc.
