+.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.Sh "GENERATING PROJECTS"
+.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+When invoked using
+.Nm
+.Cm gen ,
+you either create a new project or modify the frameworks of an existing project.
+.Ss Create options
+When creating a new project, if no options are specified,
+.Nm
+will use the
+.Ar Application
+template, which by default does not use a
+.Ar cib
+to create its interface. If you wish to use a different template, the following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fl t, \-template Ar template
+Specifies the template name to use when generating the project. This determines the type
+of project to generate.
+.It Fl \-list-templates
+Displays the templates names available for use with the
+.Sy -t/--template
+option.
+.El
+.Ss Frameworks options
+There are a number of options available for specifying how to create or update
+the Frameworks directory in your project. The available options are:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fl f, \-frameworks
+This will copy or symlink
+.Sy only
+the Frameworks directory instead of generating an entire project. This is
+especially useful if you want to update the Frameworks for an existing project.
+.It Fl F, \-framework Ar name
+The
+.Sy -f/--frameworks
+option always copies/symlinks the Objective-J, Foundation, and AppKit frameworks. You may
+include additional frameworks with this option. You may use this option multiple times
+to include multiple frameworks.
+.It Fl \-list-frameworks
+Displays a list of frameworks that are available for use with the
+.Sy -F/--framework
+option.
+.It Fl \-symlink
+By default frameworks are copied to the project directory. Use this option to symlink
+to the source frameworks instead of copying.
+.It Fl \-build
+By default frameworks are copied/symlinked from the installed version created with
+.Sy jake install.
+Use this option to copy/symlink the version created in
+.Ar $CAPP_BUILD
+with
+.Sy jake debug
+or
+.Sy jake release.
+.It Fl l
+This is a handy shortcut for
+.Sy --symlink --build.
+.El
+.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.Sh CONFIGURING
+.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+When invoked using
+.Nm
+.Cm config ,
+you can set or inspect the values used to replace placeholder text in the templates. The syntax
+for

+is as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Ar key value
