do not render relative links in help pages
2022-08-26do not render relative links in help pagesValentin Gagarin
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md` links showing up. it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline documentation is hopefully not a big deal. instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`: https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown/issues/105

2022-08-04doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituterAdam Joseph
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean. They are used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined: - local store - remote store - binary cache - substituter In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar. Let's give definitions for them.
