<p>My initial idea was <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">[FILE[:line[:column]]...]</tt> but that felt a bit too cryptic/illegible to me in practice.<br />
If the surrounding square brackets indicate the optional nature of <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">FILES</tt> we should probably stick to those brackets, and not use another form with the same intention.</p>

<p>/me just learned about <a href="http://docopt.org/" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://docopt.org/</a> -- cool -- so what about:</p>
<p><tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">i18n("Files to load, or directories to load as projects"), "[FILE[:line[:column]] | DIRECTORY]..."</tt>?</p>
<p>I could live with that.</p>
<p>Bonus points for adding two example usages at the bottom of the help text in a new <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Examples</tt> section(?)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D6477" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D6477</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop, apol<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kfunk, apol, kdevelop-devel, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowdodger<br /></div>
