- Move contents of README.md from
nixos/modules/installer/tools/manpages/ to
nixos/doc/manual/contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md.
- Don't mention DocBook as its obsolete and too specific.
- Rename derivation attribute name of configuration.nix(5) manual page,
both on the `contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md`, and in other
places.
Since each such `nixos-*` tool has it's own derivation, exposed in pkgs,
There is no point in separating the manuals from the packages. If
someone wishes to have the tools without the manuals, they can use
meta.outputsToInstall to disable the installation of the manpages of
these packages. This Fixes#244450.
`children` only has to be not-None, not also not-[]. empty table cells
would can produce an empty inline token and cause these checks to fail,
even though the token actually is totally valid.
showed up in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/246956#discussion_r1283146120.
also updates nixdoc to 2.3.0. the nixdoc update is not a separate commit
because that would leave the manual build broken for one commit,
potentially breaking bisects and rebases.
this is only used in the stdenv chapter, but footnotes could be useful
in other places as well. since markdown-it has a plugin to parse
footnote syntax we may as well just support them even if they're rare.
examples and figures behave identically regarding numbering and titling,
they just don't share a common number space. make the numbering/titling
function generic over block types now so figures can just use it.
currently only supported for html. docbook could also support images,
but it's on the way out for manual generation anyway so we won't add
image support there. options docs can't use images because they also
target manpages, which leaves no viable users.
the nixpkgs manual uses section tocs for eg the nixpkgs library function
reference. we will only not emit tocs for subsections at this point, but
maybe we should consider doing so in the future.
docbook always emits intra-file links if only a single file is emitted.
it doesn't seem to do this for intra-file links when multiple files are
emitted, so we don't do that yet either.
