Re: Dump help pages

Someone showed me ":hardcopy" and ":TOhtml". ":hardcopy" for me returns "Failed to print postscript file". "TOhtml" opens a new window of HTML, but I don't know how to output it to a file. Would anyone here know how to do that?

Thanks very much,

Julius

Sorry, I don't fully understand how to use that. That seems to be a long document about many different options. Is there listed somewhere in there the option to output a Vim help page to an external file?

For example, the Unix info reader allows outputting of an info page with the "-o" option.

Thanks very much,

Julius

The help pages are text files, you don't need to dump them, you can
:e $VIMRUNTIME/doc/options.txt
to read the options help page.

Best,
