This reverts commit57961d2b83, reversing changes made tob04f913afc. (I.e. this reverts PR #141192.) While well-intended, this change does unfortunately introduce very serious regressions that are especially disruptive/noticeable on desktop systems (e.g. users of Sway will loose their graphical session when running "nixos-rebuild switch"). Therefore, this change has to be reverted ASAP instead of trying to fix it in "production". Note: An updated version should be extensively discussed, reviewed, and tested before re-landing this change as an earlier version also had to be reverted for the exact same issues [0]. Fix: #146727 [0]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/73871#issuecomment-559783752
This directory is temporarily needed while we transition the manual to CommonMark. It stores the output of the ../md-to-db.sh script that converts CommonMark files back to DocBook.
We are choosing to convert the Markdown to DocBook at authoring time instead of manual building time, because we do not want the pandoc toolchain to become part of the NixOS closure.
Do not edit the DocBook files inside this directory or its subdirectories. Instead, edit the corresponding .md file in the normal manual directories, and run ../md-to-db.sh to update the file here.
