  - `pipe` property to check if a sink with input is a pipe (like stdin)
 - Add fuzzy search to history search (enable via `hilbish.opts.fuzzy = true`)
 - Show indexes on cdr list
+- Fix doc command not displaying correct subdocs when using shorthand api doc access (`doc api hilbish.jobs` as an example)
 - `hilbish.messages` interface (details in [#219])
 - `hilbish.notification` signal when a message/notification is sent
 - `notifyJobFinish` opt to send a notification when background jobs are
 completed.
+- Allow numbered arg substitutions in aliases.
+  - Example: `hilbish.alias('hello', 'echo %1 says hello')` allows the user to run `hello hilbish`
+  which will output `hilbish says hello`.
+- Greenhouse
+  - Greenhouse is a pager library and program. Basic usage is `greenhouse <file>`
+  - Using this also brings enhancements to the `doc` command like easy
+  navigation of neighboring doc files.

-[#219]: https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/issues/219
 ### Fixed
+- Fix infinite loop when navigating history without any history. [#252](https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/issues/252)
+- Return the prefix when calling `hilbish.completions.call`. [#219](https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/issues/219)
 - Replaced `sed` in-place editing with `grep` and `mv` for compatibility with BSD utils

+title: Module hilbish.module
+description: native module loading
+layout: doc
+menu:

+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+The hilbish.module interface provides a function to load
+Hilbish plugins/modules. Hilbish modules are Go-written
+plugins (see https://pkg.go.dev/plugin) that are used to add functionality
+to Hilbish that cannot be written in Lua for any reason.
+
+Note that you don't ever need to use the load function that is here as
+modules can be loaded with a `require` call like Lua C modules, and the
+search paths can be changed with the `paths` property here.
+
+To make a valid native module, the Go plugin has to export a Loader function
+with a signature like so: `func(*rt.Runtime) rt.Value`.
+
+`rt` in this case refers to the Runtime type at
+https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/arnodel/golua@master/runtime#Runtime
+
+Hilbish uses this package as its Lua runtime. You will need to read
+it to use it for a native plugin.
+
+Here is some code for an example plugin:
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	rt "github.com/arnodel/golua/runtime"
+)
+
+func Loader(rtm *rt.Runtime) rt.Value {
+	return rt.StringValue("hello world!")
+}
+```
+
+This can be compiled with `go build -buildmode=plugin plugin.go`.
+If you attempt to require and print the result (`print(require 'plugin')`), it will show "hello world!"
+
+## Functions

+// #interface module

+// #field paths A list of paths to search when loading native modules. This is in the style of Lua search paths and will be used when requiring native modules. Example: `?.so;?/?.so`
+/*
+The hilbish.module interface provides a function to load
+Hilbish plugins/modules. Hilbish modules are Go-written
+plugins (see https://pkg.go.dev/plugin) that are used to add functionality
+to Hilbish that cannot be written in Lua for any reason.
+
+Note that you don't ever need to use the load function that is here as
+modules can be loaded with a `require` call like Lua C modules, and the
+search paths can be changed with the `paths` property here.
+
+To make a valid native module, the Go plugin has to export a Loader function
+with a signature like so: `func(*rt.Runtime) rt.Value`.
+
+`rt` in this case refers to the Runtime type at
+https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/arnodel/golua@master/runtime#Runtime
+
+Hilbish uses this package as its Lua runtime. You will need to read
+it to use it for a native plugin.
+
+Here is some code for an example plugin:
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	rt "github.com/arnodel/golua/runtime"
+)
+
+func Loader(rtm *rt.Runtime) rt.Value {
+	return rt.StringValue("hello world!")
+}
+```
+
+This can be compiled with `go build -buildmode=plugin plugin.go`.
+If you attempt to require and print the result (`print(require 'plugin')`), it will show "hello world!"
+*/

+	exports := map[string]util.LuaExport{
+		"load": {moduleLoad, 2, false},
