Yes, currently it shows one. Showing all, as the case in your topic, is better. > >> Where will the documentation for individual concepts like >> 'cmake-languages', 'cmake-policies', 'cmake-imported-targets', >> 'cmake-config-packages' etc fit into this?

Somehow I'm more comfortable with the cmake --help-foo than man pages, which is one reason I wanted --help-concepts. I'll learn to adapt though :). > The topic breaks some of the existing --help-* commands like --help-full, Yes, --help-full is another one I'll miss a very small amount :). I sometimes use `cmake --help-full | less -p foo` when not sure what to look for.
