Hi,

Sometimes I need (offline) information about how to use specific arguments on modules like ‘with\_items’, ‘with\_files’, ‘tags’, ‘when’ etc. I would then like to use ansible-doc to get my playbook done, but I seem to be unable to find information in ansible-doc about this.

Is this present? If yes, where exactly can this be found? And is there a way to like grep for ‘with\_items’ in ansible-doc? 🙂

Regards,

No, ansible-doc only had module information, in 2.4 we are adding the  
rest of plugins (including lookup , which is what with\_ partially is).

Config settings might also be added, but there is no current plan to  
add Ansible keywords, but now I'll keep that in mind.

If using the repo, most of the website source is under  
docs/docsite/rst, part of it is generated from modules (but  
ansible-doc has that covered).
