$ sage -docbuild
You must specify the document name and the output format

It would be nice if it at least gave a list of available documents to build.

  • Summary changed from "sage -docbuild" could use a better error message to [with patch, needs review] "sage -docbuild" could use a better error message

Here's a patch which doesn't do what you're asking, but tells you how to get the list.

Yes, I agree that the command 

sage -docbuild -help

provides more help on building the documentation. The error message of 

sage -docbuild

now informs the user about that command. Positive review.
