Squashed at reviewer's request: Add heading at the end of the introductory material Spice up introductory paragraphs a bit Use quotes instead of <code> for phrase Remove "other" in "other restrictions" (it's not obvious that any other restrictions have been mentioned) "Default methods" is a second-level heading, but is not a subsection of "Where clause" Reword "Default methods" introduction: it's not the "last feature" on this page
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:
