Nim also lacks a .chm help file for Windows 95.

You're right. I'm curious what others think about this. I've never made a man page before, but I don't imagine it's complicated...

What do you imagine for the content? Should it be the nim --help info structured as a man page, or should a more detailed document be written?

Nim also lacks a .chm help file for Windows 95.

The official Debian package provides manpages for nim, nimble, nimgrep, nimsuggest
They are autogenerated from the help commands. You can reuse them in "brew" and other.

indeed, for autocompletion and man page generation this works: https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/issues/23#issuecomment-381294245
just a matter of integrating these in nim distributions (incl homebrew formula)

Work on it or let it be, but I need the number of issues to go down.
