@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmStill some files to convert :)12:41:03
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmOh that's not so convincing because it includes the from_md dir. 12:42:10
@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)Yes12:42:18
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm
~/p/nixpkgs/nixos]$ find . | grep xml | grep -v from_md | wc

@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)but even that also has xml files that include xml files12:43:12
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: here is the issue where we are discussing module options https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/127813 12:46:08
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm
My preference would be to do these links as a post-processing step (either Javascript or an HTML post-processing step). People wouldn't have to remember to add them, and maybe we could even make it smart enough to handle the nested ones.
12:46:30
@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)ryantm: can we use <xi:include> tags in markdown? That way we could convert already more xml files.12:54:55
@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)some of them contain both text and includes12:55:07
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: Sure, that's a good interim solution. 12:55:31
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: Oh, I was misreading what you said. Yes, we figured out how to use include tags, let me find the syntax. 12:58:57
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs/commit/aa6b6594ef8f940169b9b426040d0259fd1bc882 looks like it requires a little change to the generator scripts too. 13:01:18
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmWe didn't merge that in yet, I think.13:01:31
@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)@ryantm: any reason not to merge it?13:06:13
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: I don't think so, except maybe it needs to be fixed up. 13:09:06
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmI'll try to do that now.13:12:36
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: I just remembered why I didn't do it. It was going to convert the Release Notes from an Appendix to a Chapter. 13:23:03
@mic92:nixos.devMic92 (Old)ryantm: is it not still useful for the remaining docs?13:23:34
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: It is, so I'll make a PR that is just the script changes. 13:24:00
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm Mic92: Here we go https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/136987/files 13:32:29
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm * Mic92: Here we go https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/136987/ 13:32:37
