As far as i am aware no. Pennae seems to do lix now. nixos-render-docs is now kind of unmaintained?
Multipage rendering can be done, and it should be a straight forward task.
Here are the steps that i have in my head rn.

  • build a table of track references (currently anchors)

  • split the manual during rendering into mutliple output pages (and where each reference is located)

  • make sure the references point to the correct subpage in output

  • write a client side redirect script for people having the old references

getpsyched is currently working exactly on this under my supervision. It will take a while to get there, the devil is in the details.

Another thing that i'd like to get rid of are these include blocks in the nixpkgs/nixos docs. Because the overall structure can only be perceived from a recursive parser but not from a human. Which makes structural maintance/changes hard to understand.

has anything been done for rendering docs in multiple pages since this discussion?
Hi, I've been working on the render docs as part of splitting the manuals into multiple pages. Currently the work is on getting a robust redirect system set up. As @Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki outlined, I'm working on the same things and have pieced out the details in a roadmap which I'll convert into a formal documentation page after we hit the redirects milestone.

Feel free to track the progress through this diff:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/compare/nixos-24.05...GetPsyched:nixpkgs:render-docs

The base branch is set to 24.05 as we're aiming to backport these changes there and jump to master/24.11 and run our script again to retro-actively catch breakages.

Hello community,

Is there a kind of roadmap for the documentation?

Or a place that is the most in need of updating?

Kind regards
