| misuzu | Hi! I've stumbled on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/actions/runs/12071127791/job/33662163276?pr=341598 and I don't really understand what must be done in this new module for the NixOS manual to build properly. Is there some kind of documentation for how to properly add these redirects for modules documentation? | 17:44:32 |

 fricklerhandwerk | You have to add entries to nixos/doc/manual/redirects.json, which look like this:
"<identifier>": [
"index.html#<identifier>",
]
Rationale and design documentation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/ni/nixos-render-docs/README.md
Once the page-split is performed, you'll also have to consider the output path of the element referred to by <identifier>, then the shape will have to be
"<identifier>": [
"<path/to/output/location>.html#<identifier>",
]

| yut0 | Anyone know if there is a way to generate the Appendix A page for nixpkgs (and also home-manager, nix-darwin) using the local pinned version in my flake? I don't update my flake inputs too often, so sometimes the online Appendix A pages drift from my local nixpkgs | 22:44:40 |
 toonn | yut0: Are you maybe looking for `man configuration.nix`? | 23:46:31 |
| 15 Dec 2024 |
| yut0 | Oh hell yeah thank you | 11:19:39 |
| yut0 | Do you know if there's a way to generate the html pages as well / if the equivalent exists for home-manager? | 11:21:27 |
| toonn | yut0: `man home-configuration.nix` I have no idea about generation of the html pages I'm sure someone else will chime in though. | 11:26:28 |

Do you know if there's a way to generate the html pages as well / if the equivalent exists for home-manager? For figuring out how the appendix is built, check the Nixpkgs repo in doc/default.nix and follow the call graph from there. Home Manager uses the same source code, check its source code starting from default.nix, there’s a doc attribute that builds the module documentation | 17:36:09 |

| yut0 | 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.. | 02:13:35 |
