Hi Simon, and anyone interested,
Synopsis:
1) SFTN: apologies for mistakenly introducing offtopic tangentials in
earlier post ;-/
2) IWBN: if links/urls in the GCD document had base names for wget
automatic file naming.
3) IWBN: if there were a guile-glossary.html AND a guix-glossary.html AND
4) IWBN: if the GCD html document had hover-hints with glossary excerpts
and links thereto.
5) IWBN: if importantly exact references had sha256sum hashes as, or
embedded in, the basenames.
6) IWBN: to provide links for bewildered visitors to explanatory
documentation, e.g. [1]-[6]
7) SFTN:= Sorry For The Noise, IWBN:= It Would Be Nice, GCD:= Guix Common
Document
[1] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/
[2] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node
[3] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Concept-Index.html
[4] https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/
[5] https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/index.html
[6] https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Concept-Index.html
I like glossaries (4), but [3] and [6] are excellent, and provide more info --
but not
glossary definitions. Quick, What's a thread? A fiber? A continuation? Wayland
protocol?
BTW, I think IWBN to rename the Concept-Index.html files with Guile- or Guix-
prefixes
in case someone wgets them :) People can use [1] and [4] to download different
formats, and
e.g. get a single file html, which is nice for Ctl-f searching, as Simon has
pointed out.
The html_node ones may lessen waits where bandwidth is low/expensive.
Might mention that the guix cookbook (updated?) might be viewable something
like:
info -f <repo-dir>/guix/doc/guix-cookbook.texi
for those who have cloned the guix repo.
Well, I'll leave it at that. Thanks for reading :)
Cheers,
