## Generating 21.11 Release Notes
Documentation in nixpkgs is transitioning to a markdown-centric workflow. Release notes now require a translation step to convert from markdown to a compatible docbook document.
Steps for updating 21.11 Release notes:
1. Edit `nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2111.section.md` with the desired changes
2. Run `./nixos/doc/manual/md-to-db.sh` to render `nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2111.section.xml`
3. Include changes to `rl-2111.section.md` and `rl-2111.section.xml` in the same commit.
