I use tags extensively and think they're both easier and faster if you already know what to look for. 'man route' then page down in whatever way still means you need to skim over the content and the size of the steps, i.e. the amount of mental overhead, depends on your window size. 'man route' and ":twhatever" brings you immediately to the thing you need, quick "q" and you're back to work with minimal distraction. > is the added complexity really worth it? we must have a ton of pages > with lists explaining flags. like > > man -Otag=D ps > > that doesn;t work either. Complexity seems low and is a one-time thing, which yields better accessibility not just in interative manual reading. There are certainly more pages, but manual tagging should still be done on a per-case basis. Your ps(1) example is quite similar, but I personally look way more often at 'route show' output than I do at 'ps -o state'.
