@Doctor-love have this idea of adding a few guides on how to use fq in practice, what do you think? what is lacking, more jq more fq? tricks? weird langauge? not sure what is a good style also, now i used "we" and avoided "you".

Personally, I think this is pretty awesome! Shows the power of fq and the jq language - guess most people don't know much more than basic queries.

I say more!

Mayhaps use generated SVGs in examples to show off the highlighting and making it easier to follow?

But harder to copy-paste... hmm.

Ah good idea. Maybe ok to now be able to copy/paste from them? wonder how it would look if only the output is SVG and let the command above be plain old markdown?

Was it ok to follow? i think it might go a bit too fast at the end currently, will try break that up a bit.

I don't think it would hurt to explain the syntax and functions more, but this is a good start - a few TODOs left to fix.

👍 will try add more about that

I would also like to add some guide that is more about digging into unknown or partially unknown binary. Let me know if you have some ideas. Thinking something like decoding exif from a unknown image format etc.

Also a guide about digging into broken files would be nice.

Something else you think could be a common usage case?

Both the ideas you mention sounds interesting - especially broken files. I would guess that the biggest hurdle for people is to even know where to start with fq, considering the vast amount of jq functions and similar - perhaps try to structure a guide that covers the basics and becomes progressively more advanced, the actual problem that is solved in the guide could be more or less synthetic.

So maybe a pure jq guide would be good? could also maybe include some CLI stuff?

jq from fq's perspective, yeah :-)

Small tweak: perhaps a git mv to fix spelling in filename of "doc/guides/fra-pcap-challange-2021-09/README.md"
