How do I remove the <> And what's in it

[jhesqqq]

When I use num_args(0), <status-code> is simply removed.
When I used value_name with double quotes, the result kept <>, I don't think I need this <>.
For consistency, I should have removed the from the image using the above method.
It's important to me what function I use to hide it.

<> is a standard convention for communicating something is required. This is not configurable and the use case for making it configurable seems too small to be worth the API growth and the extra build time / binary size.

Thank you for your answer!

action(ArgAction::SetTrue) would have worked, but that would have a bool value, so I just chose num_args(0).

Both of these approaches will get my logic working, but they'll both make the content inside <> disappear.

Now that I've made the content disappear in these two ways, I want to make the rest disappear as well to maintain formatting integrity.

So I only have one problem, which is how to disappear, but I can still add the value after the parameter in the Matcher part.

Why is not being bool important?

And to clarify, are you asking for hiding the values behind arguments that still take values?

[jhesqqq]

bool doesn't matter here.
This is not the feature I want to implement. The argument that takes a value still has a value after it.
The picture below has a clearer description.

So you want an argument to take a value but not show that it takes a value in the help?

From my experience, that goes against all common help conventions and, in my opinion, would be confusing to users / user hostile. Considering we are trying to make things easy to have a "high quality" CLI and we have to balance user requests for ideas off the beaten path with API bloat, binary size, and build times, this is not something we are going to support natively. If needed, you can use override_help to provide your own help string with the formatting you want. We are exploring generalizing our auto-help logic which might allow you to create this as you want in a reusable package.

override_help modifies the entire help?
This would drastically change the code I write.
I think what you say is quite reasonable. For library developers, there is more to consider.
Thank you very much for your answer. I hope clap is getting better and better.
