What's the canonical way of generating the options html pages? pkgs.nixpkgs-manual.override { nixpkgs = <your current instance>; } seems like the way to go for the main manual page, but it doesn't build the options page. pkgs.nixpkgs-manual.optionsDoc has derivations for asciidoc, markdown, and json, but no html.
Alternatively, it looks like you can directly call the same derivation hydra uses to build these pages, i.e. "${(import "${nixpkgs}/nixos/release.nix" { inherit nixpkgs; }).manualHTML.x86_64-linux}/share/doc/nixos", which does build all of the manual pages, but this seems cursed.. I think markdown is the html its just badly named | 20:22:36 |

You need to look into the source Code for documentation unfortunately | 20:24:13 |

Hey, could I get some guidance on this PR? What should I do next? Can I help somehow or maybe wait for something? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/363755 It looks good, nothing to do here really. I'd hit the button, but GitHub doesn't want me to do a rebase for some reason, and I'm not sure if merge commits are desirable. getchoo any idea? | 17:11:54 |

 allrealmsoflife | Hello,
I'm trying to build the Nix manual following the instructions here:
https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.25/development/documentation.
I have a few questions about the process:
-
Where should I run the build command?
For example, do I need to be in a specific directory for the commands to work correctly?
-
Issues with nix-build output:
When I run the following command in the src/nix directory:
nix-build -E '(import ./.).packages.${builtins.currentSystem}.nix.doc'
It generates a result directory, but it does not contain the expected index.html
in a path like ./result-doc/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html. Instead, I see several
subdirectories with their own index.html files. Additionally, there is no
result-doc directory, only result. Is this the intended behavior?
-
Error with nix build:
When I try to use the newer command:
nix build .#nix^doc
I get the following error:
error: derivation '/nix/store/91q76nmlb2aharvh227hlgv6xq78610m-nix-2.26.0pre20250102_442a262.drv'
does not have wanted outputs 'doc'
Could you clarify what might be going wrong or what adjustments I need to make? Thank you for your help!

| allrealmsoflife | Also when I try the third option, enter the development shell, and run:
[nix-shell:~/src/nix]$ make manual-html-open -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
make: *** No rule to make target 'manual-html-open'. Stop.
