Rebecca Turner	b0798569c2	Format Nix code with nixfmt ... Change-Id: I61efeb666ff7481c05fcb247168290e86a250151	2024-04-08 13:00:00 -07:00
Valentin Gagarin	a68bf15fe6	backport fix for the --help output	2023-11-10 19:22:42 +01:00
John Ericson	9800c1e807	Mark experimental configuration settings programmatically ... Fix #8162 The test is changed to compare `nlohmann::json` values, not strings of dumped JSON, which allows us to format things more nicely.	2023-04-16 10:58:04 -04:00
John Ericson	ba9ae691b6	Add optionalString to manual Nix lang utilities ... Use it everywhere it could be also.	2023-04-16 10:57:46 -04:00
John Ericson	bc192a95ef	Describe active experimental features in the contributing guide ... They are put in the manual separate pages under the new overarching description of experimental features. The settings page just lists the valid experimental feature names (so people know what a valid setting entry looks like), with links to those pages. It doesn't attempt to describe each experimental feature as that is too much information for the configuration settings section.	2023-04-06 18:07:59 -04:00
John Ericson	53d0836347	Assemble experimental feature docs outside of Nix itself ... Instead of constructing a markdown list in C++ (which involved all sorts of nasty string literals), export some JSON and assemble it with the manual build system. Besides following the precedent set with other dumped data, this is a better separate of content and presentation; if we decide for example we want to display this information in a different way, or in a different section of the manual, it will become much easier to do so.	2023-04-04 22:57:11 -04:00

Eelco Dolstra	da8903ecc3	nix help-stores: Don't include anchors ... Since setting names are not unique we don't have an easy way to produce unique anchors.	2023-03-22 13:11:35 +01:00
