-- This file adds a command for generating the schemedit usage help readme
-- file, in Markdown format. The text is extracted from the metadata of
-- the items. This is only used for development purposes, after the
-- help text of any of the items was changed.
-- How to use: Temporarily set MAKE_README to true in init.lua, then
-- start the game as admin and run “/make_schemedit_readme”. Copy the
-- generated file back to the mod directory (USAGE.md).
-- Everything here is intentionally NOT translated because it is for text
-- files only.
-- Extract text from item definition

local text = minetest.registered_items[item][field]
-- Remove translation escapes
text = string.gsub(text, "\x1BE", "")

-- Fix Markdown syntax error
