Keeping integer values and integer references in the "value" columns made the examples quite difficult for me to follow. I've added unicode arrows to make references more obvious, without using a character with actual meaning in the rust language (like `&` or previously `~`).
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:
