Previously, the @uri example didn't match the actual behavior of the current jq, as exclamation marks do not need to be encoded in URIs. Replace the example with an input that needs encoding, and is encoded by jq.
Documentation
The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this
directory. The directory holds a Bonsai
website, and the manual is a YAML file in content/3.manual.
To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll need a working Ruby setup. The easiest way to get one is to install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3 like so:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3
After that finishes installing, you'll need to make sure RVM is on
your path by doing source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm, or just opening a
new shell. See http://rvm.io for more info on RVM.
Once RVM is installed, you can install all the dependencies for jq's
documentation build by running this from the docs directory:
bundle install
When bundle manages to install the dependencies, rerun ./configure
in the jq root directory and then the Makefile will be able to
generate the jq manpage.
