Valentin Gagarin	1d295e5fe7	Merge pull request #6934 from fricklerhandwerk/revert-architecture ... Revert #6420 "Document what Nix *is*" so we can start over with smaller change sets	2022-09-09 13:31:05 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra	1f2b12b30e	Merge pull request #6968 from fricklerhandwerk/man-no-weblinks ... do not render relative links in help pages	2022-08-29 08:46:35 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	e7dcacbd7c	do not render relative links in help pages ... this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md` links showing up. it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline documentation is hopefully not a big deal. instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`: https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown/issues/105	2022-08-26 17:10:41 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	703b335c1d	reword description of language properties ... the list style is supposed to give more structure. each property is explained as concisely as possible while trying not to sound too fancy.	2022-08-15 11:34:39 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	c345345dee	concept map: align hights ... this has the weird but nice emergent property that terms at the same height are roughly at the same level of abstraction.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	a28d6878b2	concept map: put closure as it is in the chapter ... this is not as compact any more, but it more closely resembles the chapter structure, and clearly shows that the closure property is the key idea on which most of Nix operates.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	631ca18ee6	reword notes on copying ... clarify that we are copying between different stores. we have not introduced that notion or why it would be interesting, but for now it should be fine to keep it in context of the store directory. we could move that later to a more detailed explanation of different store types.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
