I'd say it's a problem that we use different tooling for different projects. I guess it would make sense to try and see if nixos-render-docs could be used throughout though (such as for Nix and nix.dev). we did have that aspiration before we burned out on it all | 09:48:54 |

not nix-specific, but nixpkgs/nixos-specific very much so. like manpage export, integration with the option system, crossreferencing, even performance optimizations needed to generate such huge documents as the nixos manual Integration with the option system sounds very interesting, can you link to that? | 09:49:15 |
| infinisil | Oh I guess options.py | 09:49:23 |

Oh I guess options.py correct | 09:50:04 |
| infinisil | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/nix/nixos-render-docs/src/nixos_render_docs/options.py | 09:50:19 |
| infinisil | Oh so it renders it a bit differently on different targets | 09:50:31 |
| pennae | of course, that's why the manpage isn't terrible | 09:50:57 |
