 pennae | mdbook is big in that it has a lot of large dependencies (eg, the rust compiler) | 02:31:31 |
| pennae | gotta go now too | 02:32:10 |
 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | I can understand that the Rust ecosystem is too much for a single step. Don’t get me wrong, I like it. But I can totally get why there would be resistance. As a single item, mdbook is not enough to adopt rust.
Thanks for your explantions pennae | 03:53:13 |

pandoc does not seem to natively support rendering docbook figures from image sources? excellent. what do you mean? In pandoc 2, there is https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/2.19.2/src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/Docbook.hs#L235-L246 and you need to make sure it is figure in the Pandoc AST (e.g. when using markdown reader with implicit_figures extension) | 15:30:51 |

| Jan Tojnar | yeah, that sounds reasonable | 15:33:24 |
| Jan Tojnar | IIRC, the criteria were image standing alone in a paragraph, having title starting with fig: | 15:36:26 |
| pennae | ah, that may have been the missing bit. we didn't add a title at all | 15:47:02 |
| pennae | pandoc docs make it look like that's not needed and the original didn't have a title either, so that wouldn't've done any good to minimize the diff anyway | 15:48:07 |
 proofconstruction | why would we need to "adopt" rust to use mdbook? we're not building the mdbook binary every time we render the docs (i hope) | 15:55:01 |
| pennae | ci might | 15:56:49 |
| pennae | just did a little test on manual build times after changes:
19.03 0:37
19.09 0:39
20.03 0:44
20.09 0:51
21.05 1:07
21.11 1:22
22.05 1:39
22.11 1:55
23.05 1:00
-docbook 0:13
| 16:07:43 |
| pennae | that's timing the nix-build call that builds the manual, so the actual improvement in the manual build is going to be larger than it seems here | 16:08:16 |
| pennae | the final run spent half of its time in nix itself | 16:10:46 |

| pennae | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237557 there we go. nixos manual sans docbook | 12:42:43 |
| pennae | and nixpkgs isn't that far behind at this point | 12:42:51 |
| pennae | we've got nixpkgs mostly done, just needs a few more changes to nixdoc that we'll take care of before too long (hopefully) | 12:49:05 |
|  Marc Jakobi changed their profile picture. | 14:49:40 |
|  Julien changed their display name from Julien to JulienMalka (stop speaking german when). | 14:53:11 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237557 there we go. nixos manual sans docbook It was at this point I realized I never made a "This Month in Nix Docs" for May 🤦♂️ | 16:20:26 |

| pennae | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk
What changes are you thinking of? basically this sans escaping https://github.com/pennae/nixpkgs/blob/nixpkgs-manual-nrd/pkgs/tools/nix/nixdoc/default.nix | 20:28:25 |
| pennae | escaping is only in there for diff reasons | 20:28:33 |
| asymmetric | Cool, let me know when you have a PR ready :) | 20:34:37 |
