docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
as the documentation is now markdown-looking.
- made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes
- switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
them sort separately:
_NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
_VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
_OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
_EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md
- updated test cases accordingly
Closes #12751

# `--form-string`
|
|
|
|
|
2016-11-16 06:44:58 +08:00
|
|
|
Similar to --form except that the value string for the named parameter is used
|
2024-02-07 01:07:07 +08:00
|
|
|
literally. Leading @ and \< characters, and the `;type=` string in the value
|
|
|
|
have no special meaning. Use this in preference to --form if there is any
|
|
|
|
possibility that the string value may accidentally trigger the @ or \<
|
|
|
|
features of --form.
