Hi All, As of #11943 <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/11943>, Julia uses the shiny new doc system to provide help for functions in the REPL. Previously, docstrings were stored in ReStructured text files <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/master/doc/stdlib> as part of the manual, but now all docstrings are kept in Base <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/docs/helpdb.jl> and the rst docs are automatically generated.
What this means immediately is that any updates to Base docstrings must happen in the helpdb.jl file <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/docs/helpdb.jl>, as opposed to the RST docs. Note that it's still fine to edit the main body of the manual; only function docstrings, which can be identified by the `.. function::` syntax, are affected by this change. Right now everything is in one big file, but we'd like to move the docstrings to appropriate places in Base and convert them to Markdown. We'll need some help with that, as there are a *lot* of docstrings, but when we're ready we'll send out a call for help so that people can get involved. There's still a lot of work to do, but I think this will be a big step forward for documentation in Julia. – Mike
