Tiny fixes collected while reading through the Rust book. If they're too nitpicky please let me know and I'll ignore the next ones. :) The spaces after the function and closure arguments might be intentional, but they do not make much sense: the usual formatting doesn't have such spaces, and they aren't helping align the three lines together either. r? @steveklabnik (as suggested by [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md))
Rust documentations
Dependencies
Pandoc, a universal document converter, is required to generate docs as HTML from Rust's source code.
Building
To generate all the docs, just run make docs from the root of the repository.
This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc
for the '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:
pandoc --from=markdown --to=html5 --number-sections -o reference.html reference.md
(reference.md being the Rust Reference Manual.)
The syntax for pandoc flavored markdown can be found at:
A nice quick reference (for non-pandoc markdown) is at:
