`cp -a` is a GNU extension. Use an alternate combinaison of POSIX options
(`-PRp`) that do nearly the same.
The difference is `-a` will preserve context, links and xattr attributes,
whereas `-p` not. But as we use it only for copy a file, there is no
difference in the current context.

Without this, rustbook was failing because it was expecting the
directory to exist. (Previously, rustbook was just silently failing to
install the CSS files due to this.)
There are hundreds of stackoverflow answers, reddit posts and blog
articles that link to these documents, so it's a nicer user experience
if they're not plain 404s.
The intention is to let these hang around only for relatively short
while. The alpha is likely to bring in many new users and they will be
reading the documents mentioned above.
This pulls all of our long-form documentation into a single document,
nicknamed "the book" and formally titled "The Rust Programming
Language."
A few things motivated this change:
* People knew of The Guide, but not the individual Guides. This merges
them together, helping discoverability.
* You can get all of Rust's longform documentation in one place, which
is nice.
* We now have rustbook in-tree, which can generate this kind of
documentation. While its style is basic, the general idea is much
better: a table of contents on the left-hand side.
* Rather than a almost 10,000-line guide.md, there are now smaller files
per section.
These crates are all deprecated for their rust-lang/$crate equivalents and by
generating docs we're generating broken links. The documentation for these
crates are generated out-of-tree and are managed separately, so we're not losing
the documentation altogether, just the links from the main distribution's docs.
Closes#20096
In the HTML version of the documentation, it isn't rendered so might as well use the unicode representation.
Part of the problem was that putting a math unicode character wasn't
rendering properly in the pdf, so extra steps were needed to define
the unicode charecter ⊥ in reference.tex

This is a work in progress, but this should get *extensive* review, so I'm putting it up early and often.
This is the start of a draft of the new 'ownership guide,' which explains ownership, borrowing, etc. I'm feeling better about this framing than last time's, but we'll see.
The escaped newline in the middle of the variable reference breaks the
short hash substitution, leaving the link text exmpty; rewrap so that
each replacement is on its own line.
The Guide isn't 100% perfect, but it's basically complete. It's
certainly better than the tutorial is. Time to start pointing more
people its way.
I also just made it consistent to call all things 'guides' rather than
tutorials.
Fixes#9874. This is the big one.
And two bugs that just go away.
Fixes#14503.
Fixes#15009.
Three small changes:
1. Re-organize headers in the Strings guide so they show up correctly.
2. build the strings guide with the other docs
3. include the strings guide in the list of guides
In line with what @brson, @cmr, @nikomatsakis and I discussed this morning, my
redux of the tutorial will be implemented as the Guide. This way, I can work in
small iterations, rather than dropping a huge PR, which is hard to review. In
addition, the community can observe my work as I'm doing it.
This adds a note in line with [this comment][reddit] that clarifies the state
of the tutorial, and the community's involvement with it.

When generating documentation, rustdoc has the ability to generate relative
links within the current distribution of crates to one another. To do this, it
must recognize when a crate's documentation is in the same output directory. The
current threshold for "local documentation for crate X being available" is
whether the directory "doc/X" exists.
This change modifies the build system to have new dependencies for each
directory of upstream crates for a rustdoc invocation. This will ensure that
when building documentation that all the crates in the standard distribution are
guaranteed to have relative links to one another.
This change is prompted by guaranteeing that offline docs always work with one
another. Before this change, races could mean that some docs were built before
others, and hence may have http links when relative links would suffice.
Closes#14747
This grows a new option inside of rustdoc to add the ability to submit examples
to an external website. If the `--markdown-playground-url` command line option
or crate doc attribute `html_playground_url` is present, then examples will have
a button on hover to submit the code to the playground specified.
This commit enables submission of example code to play.rust-lang.org. The code
submitted is that which is tested by rustdoc, not necessarily the exact code
shown in the example.
Closes#14654
These fonts were moved into place by rust's makefiles, but rustdoc is widely
used outside of rustc itself. This moves the fonts into the rustdoc binary,
similarly to the other static assets, and writes them to the output location
whenever rustdoc generates documentation.
Closes#13593Closes#13787
This is intended to be the first thing somebody new to the language reads about Rust. It is supposed to be simple and intriguing, to give the user an idea of whether Rust is appropriate for them, and to hint that there's a lot of cool stuff to learn if they just keep diving deeper.
I'm particularly happy with the sequence of concurrency examples.
