I would like to write doc comments for Emacs lisp build helpers. I can get them in repl using :doc now. How do I have those doc comments rendered in the nixpkgs manual? I don’t have it off the top of my mind, but roughly you need to add line in the table of contents for the section to be rendered. Please check any other section, grep the source for the anchor or file names, and see how it’s done | 13:02:22 |

| fricklerhandwerk | Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: do you happen to have a good pointer for good-first-issues around Nixpkgs library documentation? Maybe something like reformatting to the new style along the lines of what danielsidhion was doing last year? | 22:03:24 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | So I'm factoring out a repeatedly used type into types.nix here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/375975/files#diff-64168148acd9f2147ef733b1498b8821c24f2e3f32354b0e147dd421d71274f3R1165-R1171
Does this need to be documented in option-types.section.md? And if so, under which section does it seem appropriate?

Yes please, as long as that section is not auto-generated from doc comments | 07:34:34 |
