-@section Options

+@table @code
+@item -a,--assume-old
+    If version number cannot be determined, apply all conversions.
+@item -e,--edit
     Do an inline edit of the input file. override @code{--output}
-@item --show-rules
-    shows all known conversions, and exit
-@item --from=@var{FROM_PATCHLEVEL}
+@item -f,--from=@var{FROM_PATCHLEVEL}
     Set the level to convert from. If this is not set, convert-ly will
     guess this, on the basis of @code{\version} strings in the file
+@item -o,--output
+    The output file to write.  
+@item -n,--no-version
+    Normally, convert-ly adds a @code{\version} indicator 
+to the output. Specifying this option suppresses this.  
+
+@item --show-rules
+    shows all known conversions, and exit
 @item --to=@var{TO_PATCHLEVEL}
     Set the goal version of the conversion. It defaults to the latest
     available version.
