This will clean up the module slightly and bring it more in line with Pantheon & Cinnamon.
While at it do some other refactoring inspired by those modules:
- Correct a typo in light background attribute name.
- Rename the attribute name.
- Quote arguments.
- Extract the overridden package list and override text into variables.
- Avoid having separate copy commands for overrides from packages.
- Avoid `with` statements.
- Use `concatMapStringsSep`.
most of these are hidden because they're either part of a submodule that
doesn't have its type rendered (eg because the submodule type is used in
an either type) or because they are explicitly hidden. some of them are
merely hidden from nix-doc-munge by how their option is put together.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
This config is removed when removing[1] fonts.fontconfig.hinting.style
option.
However, when adding[2] that option back, this config is missing.

This option is based on a recommendation from a page last updated in
2014 (see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/), and it
is not necessary anymore.
Also, it did the wrong thing: it forced DRI2, but Glamor should also
work with DRI3, that is a better option most of the time. So let's
remove this option, folks that still want to force this manually can do
so in other ways.
this renders the same in the manpage and a little more clearly in the
html manual. in the manpage there continues to be no distinction from
regular text, the html manual gets code-type markup (which was probably
the intention for most of these uses anyway).
Other popular distros (OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch) read $HOME/.profile when starting X11 display managers.
When moving to nixOS, that is then broken leading to unpredictable behavior (probably programs not working).
This adds similar behavior to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession

now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
Upstream XMonad was using our xmonad patch file for their flake build to
support our nixos module. This would of course break the build upstream
if the version we patched and their master branch diverged. We
[discussed] that it'd make sense to upstream the environment var code.
In the process it seemed sensible to rename the NIX_GHC variable as
well, since it isn't really Nix-specific – it's just a way to set the
GHC binary to execute. This change has been [implemented] upstream in an
unreleased version of xmonad now – meaning we'll be able to drop the
xmonad patch soon!
This also clarifies the situation in nixpkgs a bit: NIX_GHC is easy to
confuse with the environment variable used in the ghcWithPackages
wrapper where it is used to set an alternative prefix for a GHC-wrapper
for applications trying to discover it via e.g. ghc-paths. It is an
implementation detail in this context, as it is in the case of the
xmonad module. Since they are different implementations doing different
things, different names also make sense.

our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
