A: Continuously read from piped input using Vim Maybe passing the piped results through `tail` first would partially work. Use `tail` with the `-f` flag so that tail will continuously its contents. Example: ` | tail -f | vim -` I think you would still need to tell vim to get updates from tail periodically with `:e!` (more) |

Just to follow up. So it seems that docutils's rst2pseudoxml.py isn't an appropriate syntax-checker/linter for Sphinx documents. It looks like rstcheck is a suitable replacement. https://github.com/myint/rstcheck (more) |

| Question | — |
Docutils rst2pseudoxml.py reported error: No role entry for "meth" docutils's rst2pseudoxml.py is reporting this error: `Unknown interpreted text role "meth".` even though the build command: `sphinx-build -b html -d build/doctrees source build/html` runs fine and properly displays the method. I suspect I just have some mis-configuration somewhere because the role ... (more) |

Thank you, this is useful answer. The event that started me thinking about this is that I was reading some code that is a mixture of classes/object and independent functions. I started wondering what things to evaluate when thinking about whether/is some of the independent functions should be group... (more) |

Those are good points. When I posted the question I was thinking of 'only instantiable/concrete classes' but you bring up some additional cases. The reason for the initial question is that I was reading through some code in a language that allows functions as well as classes/object and I go to won... (more) |

| Question | — |
Are there practical reasons for designing a method-only class/object? Are there practical reasons for designing/implementing a method(s)-only class/object? Follow-up background notes: This question is for languages that are not exclusively Object-Oriented, for example, Python and Perl. So languages that can have classes/instances and top-level independent f... (more) |

Regarding being borderline off-topic.. The description of the `Writing?` community includes 'technical documentation'. Is this question more appropriate there? If so what would be the proper protocol? Is there a way to move the question to a different community, or should I re-ask it there.. or so... (more) |

Thanks!, Yes, you have a good point that the current way I'm writing text instructions for interfacing with Graphical Windows systems is reasonable particularly is kept to the discipline of "action on what where". I hesitated to ask this question because I had somewhat the same thought. However, s... (more) |

| Question | — |
Are there textual-formats for documenting actions in Graphical Windows systems? I've recently been involved with creating text documentation of steps for workflows in graphical windows systems (and web-pages). These are often somewhat wordy, for example: "Click on the 'Exit' item of the menu in the upper-left corner of the screen". Are there more concise and established pro... (more) |

| Question | — |
Python Regex to parse multiple "word. word. word." I'm trying to parse lines like "THIS. THAT..OTHER " so that `"THIS. THAT."` is found. There can be more than one `` separated by a space except no space after the last one. Based on the initial feedback, I've added more example lines to the lines array below. My current results are: ``` re.... (more) |
