alois31 beb231784e doc/manual: clarify documentation related to the $$ parser bug 
Due to a mistake in the grammar, a dollar character implicitly escapes a second
dollar character that immediately follows, so that it cannot start an
interpolation. Unfortunately, this behaviour has since come to be relied upon,
so it cannot be fixed. Furthermore, the documentation on regular strings did
not mention this behaviour at all, while in the case of indented strings it was
rather implicit.
Mention it explicitly in both cases, and describe how an interpolation can
follow a dollar character (namely, by escaping that). Since we have to touch
that section anyway, state that any character (other than n, r, and t; but
notably including `$` even if not succeeded by `{`) can be escaped using a
backslash in regular strings.

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
