Nice suggestions! We've got a whole list going on at https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi/issues

That's a nice search tool. I found that the relevance is not quite as good as Google (for example "howdoi get referrer url php") but this could be used when you enter a query that contains symbols.

Thanks!

Excellent. Fork away!

Does SO provide data dumps like Wikipedia?

It looks like they are trying to make the dumps available on S3: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/158050/regular-stack...

They also have odata endpoints so you should be able to get at the data (updated weekly) that way. It looks like there is a problem with it at the moment, though (I get 'server error'): http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/atom

Yes, but the last I could find is from 2011 http://blog.stackexchange.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/

August 2012 : http://www.clearbits.net/creators/146-stack-exchange-data-du...

They did monthly or bi-monthly data dumps. Not sure whether they still do. A few gibibytes of zipped XML would be a bit hard to ship, though :P

You could allow people to download a tag for offline use. Would be more data to store though.

I'm not familiar with the proper way to annotate that. How would I change the hashbang?

#!/usr/bin/env python

I'm not an expert, but I believe just s/python/python2/. Also put it in the documentation as a requirement.

Edit: Hee hee

[aeikum@aeikum howdoi]$ howdoi use python2 on default python3

/usr/bin/env python2.7

My worry is that not everyone will have python2.7 so I'd rather stick to "#!/usr/bin/env python". It would be great if this works but it doesn't

#!/usr/bin/env python2

No way to currently contribute answers. Another commenter mentioned cheat.errtheblog.com that uses a wiki system. The downside is that when the wiki fails (like right now) the application breaks.

You may want to just submit a good answer to StackOverflow and make sure it is well written and gets lots of votes.

"howdoi wittgenstein" is the search of the day. Well done!

I'm sure there's tons of academic literature riddled with ad hoc <code> block usage and strange deviations from standard markup.

This thing is great.

Thanks for playing with it. Sometimes the first answer isn't the greatest but -p2 or -p3 will get it. In this case the following command gets you closer:

howdoi format dates django templates -p3

Excellent idea for colorization! I've already got that suggestion on the github page -> https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi/issues/4
