 fricklerhandwerk | The serious questions I would ask about a data transformation engine (which a static site generator is):
- What are the programmable interfaces?
- What are the data structures it transforms?
- Which languages are used to define data and transformations?

 danielsidhion | Just saw https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/issues/1251 and wanted to check - is anyone already taking any action to bring the manuals back to the previous appearance? If not, I'll get started looking into that | 13:06:09 |

| danielsidhion | Draft PR to fix the stylesheet situation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/295847
Automatic header link buttons are still not there, because I need to extend nixos-render-docs more to allow that. Regardless of it, I appreciate anyone who can check out that PR, build the manuals (nix build .#htmlDocs.nixpkgsManual and nix build .#htmlDocs.nixosManual) and inspect the new styles and let me know if they see anything that needs fixing | 10:47:43 |
 @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Question what outputs of our documentation do exist ?
Someone confirm / disagree with this list?
NixOS manual

man page
epub
nixpkgs manual

| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Is there a specific reason, why there is no attribute like pkgs.docs.<output> at all? Wouldn't it be nice if our manual could be build as part of our package collection? | 12:05:52 |

| @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | Hey, I just stumbled upon this:
At some point we agreed to move the manuals to nix.dev
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/issues/1251#issuecomment-1994193106
Not sure what is the best place to discuss this. Obviously not the above issue :)
I'd like to voice some concern about that: there's a lot of hyperlinks pointing to the manual on the web. Doing so will break those for little benefit.

I think this matrix channel is always best for asking about documentation concerns. | 12:18:41 |

there's a lot of hyperlinks pointing to the manual on the web
What exact links, do you mean on the nixos website or in nix.dev?
the manual on the web.
Do you mean all the manuals? Or the nixpkgs manual ? or the nixos manual ?
