Vectors come up in sections dedicated to ownership with the assumption that we know something about it but we haven't seen it yet. On the other hand, you need not know anything about ownership or lifetimes to understand the basics of vectors covered in the vector section of the book. Additionally, by moving it where it is there is a natural progression from loops to an iterative type which discusses for loops. This kind of interaction is generally better for learning. I would like to have moved the struct section as well but I'm less confident about how to handle it since the ownership sections discuss structs and the structs section talks about mutable borrow.
Rust documentations
Building
To generate all the docs, follow the "Building Documentation" instructions in the README in the root of the repository. This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc for the books, 'std' and 'extra' libraries.
To generate HTML documentation from one source file/crate, do something like:
rustdoc --output html-doc/ --output-format html ../src/libstd/path.rs
(This, of course, requires a working build of the rustdoc tool.)
Additional notes
To generate an HTML version of a doc from Markdown manually, you can do something like:
rustdoc reference.md
(reference.md being the Rust Reference Manual.)
An overview of how to use the rustdoc command is available in the docs.
Further details are available from the command line by with rustdoc --help.
