2022-08-04WIP: Document the design of NixJohn Ericson
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why are things the way they are". I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people currently turn to the thesis for. I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

2022-05-26doc: Add redirects for the DocBook manualJan Tojnar
There are still many links to the old manual on the web and having them end up on the Introduction page is a bad user experience.

Added using the following sed scripts: - For command-ref/opt-common.md: s~- `(--?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#opt-\2}~g - For expressions/builtin-constants.md: s~- `(builtins\.?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#builtins-\2}~g - For expressions/advanced-attributes.md s~^ - `([^`]+)`~ - [`\1`]{#adv-attr-\1}~g and manually adjusted outputHashAlgo & outputHashMode. - For glossary.md s~^ - (`([^`]+)`|(.+)) ?\\~ - [\1]{#gloss-\2\3}\\~g; s~(gloss-\w+) ~\1-~g and manually adjusted anchors for Nix expression, user environment, NAR, ∅ and ε. - For command-ref/env-common.md s~^ - `([^`]+)`~ - [`\1`]{#env-\1}~g'
2022-05-26doc: Port anchors preprocessor to jq scriptJan Tojnar
Python is only pulled into the build closure by Mercurial, which might end up being removed. Let’s port the script to jq, which is more likely to stay.
