Hi friends. I noticed in the nixpkgs manual that all the trivial builder examples are collapsed, but the code blocks showing equivalents are not. This makes for a slightly confusing presentation. https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#trivial-builder-writeText

A few months ago people were working on paginating the manual. How is that going?

People is getpsyched with some eyeballs from me. It's still going and deeply in the weeds with preliminary work. You can follow progress in the work log.

I'm not sure it will fully snap together by the end of the timeline mid December, but the most important parts of making a page split possible without disrupting workflows will fairly certainly get done.

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>",
  ]
