this allows readers to enter the code starting with what is visible from the outside, instead of working themselves up from purely technical details.

it was quite a pain to manipulate strings just with `builtins`
2022-09-30refactor rendering command documentation to markdownValentin Gagarin
idea: - make document structure visible, like in a template - order functions by descending abstraction - avoid nested let bindings

when using ccache, rebuild time has been measured 89% faster while not slowing the speed of cold builds
2022-09-18address review feedbackTravis A. Everett
Mainly: - Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will not quickly grow stale. - Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests. - Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the installer test section.

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

the list style is supposed to give more structure. each property is explained as concisely as possible while trying not to sound too fancy.
