opnDossier display#

Display OPNsense configuration in formatted markdown.

Synopsis#

The 'display' command converts an OPNsense config.xml file to markdown and
renders it in the terminal with syntax highlighting via glamour. Use display
for a quick, interactive read of a configuration without producing any files.

Display parses the configuration without strict validation so that it remains
usable on real-world configs that contain minor inconsistencies. Use the
'validate' command when full structural validation is required.

RENDERING:

  • Syntax-highlighted markdown with headers, lists, and code blocks
  • Theme-aware colors that adapt to light/dark terminals
  • Structured presentation of the configuration hierarchy

CONTENT CONTROL:
--theme Force theme (light|dark|auto|none)
--section Restrict output to specific sections (e.g. system,firewall)
--wrap N Wrap text at N columns (auto-detected if omitted)
--no-wrap Disable text wrapping (equivalent to --wrap 0)
--redact Redact passwords, SNMP community strings, private keys
--comprehensive Include all sections, even rarely used ones
--include-tunables Include all system tunables (including defaults)

RELATED:
convert - Produce a file artifact instead of terminal output
validate - Validate config.xml structure before displaying
audit - Layer compliance checks on top of the rendered report
