Jan Tojnar 4de84e095d doc: Introduce pre-processor for adding anchors to text
It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:

    []{#anchor-name}

The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.

Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:

    [`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}

Théophane Hufschmitt 65a913d29b Don’t recommend writing unit tests
As asked in <https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6517#discussion_r869416905>
2022-05-12 12:02:31 +02:00
Théophane Hufschmitt 7c75f1d52b Expand the testing section of the hacking docs
- Make it clear what the different kind of tests are, where they live
  and how they can be ran
- Ask people to primarily write unit tests

Tom Bereknyei f25112d383 fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPaths
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello
[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out
hi

Théophane Hufschmitt 660c19eb49 manual: Add some anchor targets for the nix.conf options
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id`
that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option
be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable.

We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s
done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page,
and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the
hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html
version.

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
