I just wanted to say thanks to /u/txgvnn for writing the terraform-doc package.

I find accessing Terraform provider documentation on the web to be a little cumbersome, and have often wished for a plain text experience similar to info manuals instead.

I recently decided to Google possible solutions, only to discover that /u/txgvnn had already written a package for it.

Thanks! I think it's awesome! 🙂

Also: there's an LSP server for Terraform, so lsp-mode just works.

Thanks; I use lsp-mode for Terraform, but I still find it very useful to be able to read the documentation for a provider in full, from the comfort of Emacs.

Thank you very much, /u/akuszyk

Not wanna lie, if I know devdocs before perhaps I would not write terraform-doc :D

At that time, I was looking for an emacs package to search terraform's document, but couldn't find it. If I had asked people on the Reddit then I had been to know to devdocs.

After all, it is still a historical factor. It helps me learn more the elisp.

terraform-doc is still useful for who want to look for document on fly without download anything.
