:help command roadmap

[nik-rev]

Documentation for various Helix commands can be written in Markdown using code blocks with .multicursor extension that have special syntax for rendering the following types of selections:

These use the same syntax as Helix uses in its existing integration tests and render as actual visual selections in the editor.

We can then use these docs to generate HTML from them and display on the website, as well as generate integration tests that ensure all documentation is always up-to-date.

• Basic implementation for the :help command: :h[elp] command and documentation #997
• Create custom renderer for .multicursor files to render selections: feat: Helix Selection Renderer in Markdown (.multicursor file type) #12706
• Tree Sitter parser for .multicursor to highlight syntax such as #[|, #(| in the editor: feat: add support for .multicursor files #12718
• Update help pages examples to use the .multicursor filetype
• xtask gen-tests which will read all help files and extract the code blocks, transforming them into integration tests to run as a workflow.
• Generate HTML from the help pages to be displayed on the website
• Create documentation on how to write Helix documentation and how it works
