md-to-clip: Convert a tldr-page file to stdout.
$ md-to-clip --no-file-save <(echo '${page-content}')
try on your machine

This command is using a tool called md-to-clip with some additional parameters and input. Here's what each part of the command does:

  • md-to-clip: This is the name of the tool/program being used. This tool is likely designed to convert Markdown content to the clipboard (clipboard on your computer where you can copy and paste text).
  • --no-file-save: This is a parameter/flag for the md-to-clip tool. It is telling the tool not to save the converted content to a file.
  • <(echo '${page-content}'): This is the input being provided to the md-to-clip tool. It uses a process substitution technique <(...) to provide the output of the echo command as input. In this case, ${page-content} is a variable that contains the Markdown content to be converted.

In summary, this command takes the value of ${page-content}, which is likely a Markdown text, and converts it to clipboard-ready format using the md-to-clip tool, without saving it to a file.
