More on tutorial (#16)

BurdetteLamar · web-flow · commit 39d39676c450 · 2021-04-10T16:30:19.000-05:00
-   Added example in "Argument Converters"; it doesn't seem right for a tutorial to have no example in one of its topics (and instead just linking elsewhere).
-   Added section "Command-Line Abbreviations."
 -  Added section "Keyword Argument into," showing how to:
     -  Collect options.
     -  Check for missing options.
     -  Provide option defaults.

+In parsing options, you can add keyword option +into+ with a hash-like argument;

+- Collecting options.
+- Checking for missing options.
+- Providing default values for options.

 === Argument Converters
 
 An option can specify that its argument is to be converted
 from the default \String to an instance of another class.
-
 There are a number of built-in converters.
-You can also define custom converters.
 
-See {Argument Converters}[./argument_converters_rdoc.html].
+Example: File +date.rb+
+defines an option whose argument is to be converted to a \Date object.
+The argument is converted by method Date#parse.
+
+  :include: ruby/date.rb
+
+Executions:
+
+  $ ruby date.rb --date 2001-02-03
+  [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
+  $ ruby date.rb --date 20010203
+  [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
+  $ ruby date.rb --date "3rd Feb 2001"
+  [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
+
+You can also define custom converters.
+See {Argument Converters}[./argument_converters_rdoc.html]
+for both built-in and custom converters.
