-Getting Started (Command Line)
-==============================
-
-lesana can be used from the command line through the ``lesana`` command;
-for more details run ``lesana help``.
-
-Many commands will try to open some file in an editor: they will attempt
-to use, in this order, ``$EDITOR``, ``sensible-editor`` or as a fallback
-``vi``, which should be installed on any POSIX-like system.
-
-To start a new collection, create a directory and run ``lesana
-init`` into it::
-
-    mkdir $DIRECTORY
-    cd $DIRECTORY
-    lesana init
-
-It will create the basic file structure of a lesana collection,
-including a ``settings.yaml`` skeleton and it will initialize a git
-repository (use ``--no-git`` to skip this part and ignore all further
-git commands).
-
-It will then open ``settings.yaml`` in an editor: fill in your list of
-fields and all other data, save and exit.
-You are now ready to commit the configuration for your new collection::
-
-    git commit -m 'Collection settings'
-
-An empty collection is not very interesting: let us start adding new
-entries::
-
-   lesana new
-
-It will again open an editor on a skeleton of entry where you can fill
-in the values. When you close the editor it will print the entry id,
-that you can use e.g. to edit again the same entry::
-
-   lesana edit $ENTRY_ID
-
-After you've added a few entries, you can now search for some word that
-you entered in one of the indexed fields::
-
-   lesana search some words
-
-this will also print the entry ids of matching items, so that you can
-open them with ``lesana edit``.
-
-If you're using git, entries will be autoadded to the staging area, but
-you need to commit them, so that you can choose how often you do so.
-
-Search results are limited by default to 12 matches; to get all results
-for your query you can use the option ``--all``. This is especially
-useful when passing the results to a template::
-
-   lesana search --template templates/my_report.html --all \
-       some search terms \
-       > some_search_terms-report.html
-
-will generate an html file based on the jinja2 template
-``templates/my_report.html`` with all the entries found for those search
-terms.

-Moving Data between Collections
-===============================
-
-Entries can be exported from a lesana collection to another using the
-``lesana export`` command and a jinja2 template.
-
-The template should generate a yaml file that is a valid lesana entry
-for the destination collection and it can use the fields of the starting
-collection as variables. The variable ``entry`` is also available and
-gives complete access to the entry of the original collection, so fields
-with names that aren't valid jinja templates can be accessed as
-``entry.data[<field-name>]``.
-
-E.g. to convert between a collection with fields ``name``,
-``short-desc``, ``desc`` to a collection with fields ``name``,
-``description`` one could use the following template::
-
-   name: {{ name }}
-   description: |
-       {{ entry.data.[short-desc] }}
-
-       {{ desc | indent(width=4, first=False) }}
-
-From the origin collection you can then run the command::
-
-   lesana export <path/to/destination/collection> <path/to/template>
-
-to export all entries.
-
-You can also export just a subset of entries by adding a xapian query
-with the parameter ``--query``; you can test the search using::
-
-   lesana search --all <some search terms>
-
-and then actually run the export with::
-
-   lesana search --query '<some search terms>' <destination> <template>
-
-note that in this second command the spaces in the search query have to
-be protected from the shell.

-DESCRIPTION
-===========
-
-lesana is a tool to organize collections of various kinds.  It is
-designed to have a data storage / serialization format that is friendly
-to git and other VCSs, but decent performances.
-
-To reach this aim it uses yaml_ as its serialization format, which is
-easy to store in a VCS, share between people and syncronize between
-different computers, but it also keeps an index of this data in a local
-xapian_ database in order to allow for fast searches.
-
-.. _yaml: http://yaml.org/
-.. _xapian: https://xapian.org/
-
-lesana supports collections of any kind, as long as their entries can be
-described with a mostly flat dictionary of fields of the types described
-in the documentation file ``field_types``.
-
-Some example collection schemas are provided, but one big strenght of
-lesana is the ability to customize your collection with custom fields
-either by simply writing a personalized ``settings.yaml``.
-
-OPTIONS
-=======
-
--h, --help
-   Prints an help message and exits.
-
-COMMANDS
-========
-
-new(1)
-   Creates a new entry.
-edit(1)
-   Edits an existing entry.
-show(1)

-export(1)
-   Exports entries from one lesana collection to another
-init(1)
-   Initialize a new lesana collection
-rm(1)
-   Removes an entry.
-
-TEXT EDITOR
-===========
-
-Many lesana subcommands will try to open files in a text editor choosen
-as follows:
-
-* first, the value of $EDITOR is tried
-* then the command ``sensible-editor``, as available under e.g. Debian
-  and its derivatives
-* lastly, it will try to fallback to ``vi``, which should be available
