2021-06-07doc: prepare for commonmarkJan Tojnar1-1/+1
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly. Notably: - Line breaks in lists behave differently. - Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75 - The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit. - Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist While at it, I also fixed the following issues: - ShellSesssion was used - Removed some pointless docbook tags.
2021-01-01doc: explicit Markdown anchors for top-level headings; remove metadataRyan Mulligan1-7/+1
I used the existing anchors generated by Docbook, so the anchor part should be a no-op. This could be useful depending on the infrastructure we choose to use, and it is better to be explicit than rely on Docbook's id generating algorithms. I got rid of the metadata segments of the Markdown files, because they are outdated, inaccurate, and could make people less willing to change them without speaking with the author.
