* http://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-9/toc/rust-derive-builder/derive_builder/index.html

## Motivation

Some pages are very wordy, like these.

| crate | word count |
|--|--|
| [std::option](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/option/index.html) | 2,138
| [derive_builder](https://docs.rs/derive_builder/0.13.0/derive_builder/index.html) | 2,403
| [tracing](https://docs.rs/tracing/0.1.40/tracing/index.html) | 3,912
| [regex](https://docs.rs/regex/1.10.3/regex/index.html) | 8,412

This kind of very long document is more navigable with a table of contents, like Wikipedia's or the one [GitHub recently added](https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-13-table-of-contents-support-in-markdown-files/) for READMEs.

In fact, the use case is so compelling, that it's been requested multiple times and implemented in an extension:

* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80858
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/28056
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14475
* https://rust.extension.sh/#show-table-of-content

(Some of these issues ask for more than this, so don’t close them.)

It's also been implemented by hand in some crates, because the author really thought it was needed. Protip: for a more exhaustive list, run [`site:docs.rs table of contents`](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Adocs.rs+table+of+contents&ia=web), though some of them are false positives.

* https://docs.rs/figment/0.10.14/figment/index.html#table-of-contents
* https://docs.rs/csv/1.3.0/csv/tutorial/index.html#table-of-contents
* https://docs.rs/axum/0.7.4/axum/response/index.html#table-of-contents
* https://docs.rs/regex-automata/0.4.5/regex_automata/index.html#table-of-contents

Unfortunately for these hand-built ToCs, because they're just part of the docs, there's no consistent way to turn them off if the reader doesn't want them. It's also more complicated to ensure they stay in sync with the docs they're supposed to describe, and they don't stay with you when you scroll like Wikipedia's [does now](https://uxdesign.cc/design-notes-on-the-2023-wikipedia-redesign-d6573b9af28d).

## Guide-level explanation

When writing docs for a top-level item, the first and second level of headers will be shown in an outline in the sidebar. In this context, "top level" means "not associated".

This means, if you're writing very long guides or explanations, and you want it to have a table of contents in the sidebar for its headings, the ideal place to attach it is usually the *module* or *crate*, because this page has fewer other things on it (and is the ideal place to describe "cross-cutting concerns" for its child items).

If you're reading documentation, and want to get rid of the table of contents, open the ![image](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/assets/1593513/2ad82466-5fe3-4684-b1c2-6be4c99a8666) Settings panel and checkmark "Hide table of contents."

## Reference-level explanation

Top-level items have an outline generated. This works for potentially-malformed header trees by pairing a header with the nearest header with a higher level. For example:

```markdown
## A
# B
# C
## D
## E
```

A, B, and C are all siblings, and D and E are children of C.

Rustdoc only presents two layers of tree, but it tracks up to the full depth of 6 while preparing it.

That means that these two doc comment both generate the same outline:

```rust
/// # First
/// ## Second
struct One;
/// ## First
/// ### Second
struct Two;
```

## Drawbacks

The biggest drawback is adding more stuff to the sidebar.

My crawl through docs.rs shows this to, surprisingly, be less of a problem than I thought. The manually-built tables of contents, and the pages with dozens of headers, usually seem to be modules or crates, not types (where extreme scrolling would become a problem, since they already have methods to deal with).

The best example of a type with many headers is [vec::Vec](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.75.0/std/vec/struct.Vec.html), which still only has five headers, not dozens like [axum::extract](https://docs.rs/axum/0.7.4/axum/extract/index.html).

## Rationale and alternatives

### Why in the existing sidebar?

The method links and the top-doc header links have more in common with each other than either of them do with the "In [parent module]" links, and should go together.

### Why limited to two levels?

The sidebar is pretty narrow, and I don't want too much space used by indentation. Making the sidebar wider, while it has some upsides, also takes up more space on middling-sized screens or tiled WMs.

### Why not line wrap?

That behaves strangely when resizing.

## Prior art

### Doc generators that have TOC for headers

https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/Phoenix.Controller.html is very close, in the sense that it also has header sections directly alongside functions and types.

Another example, referenced as part of the [early sidebar discussion](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/37856) that added methods, Ruby will show a table of contents in the sidebar (for example, on the [ARGF](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/ARGF.html) class). According to their changelog, [they added it in 2013](06137bde8c/History.rdoc (400--2013-02-24-)).

Haskell seems to mix text and functions even more freely than Elixir. For example, this [Naming conventions](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.19.0.0/docs/Control-Monad.html#g:3) is plain text, and is immediately followed by functions. And the [Pandoc top level](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-3.1.11.1/docs/Text-Pandoc.html) has items split up by function, rather than by kind. Their TOC matches exactly with the contents of the page.

### Doc generators that don't have header TOC, but still have headers

Elm, interestingly enough, seems to have the same setup that Rust used to have: sibling navigation between modules, and no index within a single page. [They keep Haskell's habit of named sections with machine-generated type signatures](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/browser/latest/Browser-Dom), though.

[PHP](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.datetime.php), like elm, also has a right-hand sidebar with sibling navigation. However, PHP has a single page for a single method, unlike Rust's page for an entire "class." So even though these pages have headers, it's never more than ten at most. And when they have guides, those guides are also multi-page.

## Unresolved questions

* Writing recommendations for anyone who wants to take advantage of this.
* Right now, it does not line wrap. That might be a bad idea: a lot of these are getting truncated.
* Split sidebars, which I [tried implementing](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/266220-t-rustdoc/topic/Table.20of.20contents), are not required. The TOC can be turned off, if it's really a problem. Implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120818, but needs more, separate, discussion.

## Future possibilities

I would like to do a better job of distinguishing global navigation from local navigation. Rustdoc has a pretty reasonable information architecture, if only we did a better job of communicating it.

This PR aims, mostly, to help doc authors help their users by writing docs that can be more effectively skimmed. But it doesn't do anything to make it easier to tell the TOC and the Module Nav apart.

1aebff96ad Add Top TOC support to rustdoc
This commit adds the headers for the top level documentation to
rustdoc's existing table of contents, along with associated items.

It only show two levels of headers. Going further would require the
sidebar to be wider, and that seems unnecessary (the crates that
have manually-built TOCs usually don't need deeply nested headers).

modularize rustdoc's write_shared

Refactor src/librustdoc/html/render/write_shared.rs to reduce code duplication, adding unit tests

* Extract + unit test code for sorting and rendering JSON, which is duplicated 9 times in the current impl
* Extract + unit test code for encoding JSON as single quoted strings, which is duplicated twice in the current impl
* Unit tests for cross-crate information file formats
* Generic interface to add new kinds of cross-crate information files in the future
* Intended to match current behavior exactly, except for a merge info comment it adds to the bottom of cci files
* This PR is intended to reduce the review burden from my [mergeable rustdoc rfc](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3662) implementation PR, which is a [small commit based on this branch](https://github.com/EtomicBomb/rust/tree/rfc). This code is agnostic to the RFC and does not include any of the flags discussed there, but cleanly enables the addition of these flags in the future because it is more modular

b4f77df9f8 rustdoc: Delete ReceiverTy (formerly known as SelfTy)
It was barely used, and the places that used it are actually clearer
without it since they were often undoing some of its work. This also
avoids an unnecessary clone of the receiver type and removes a layer of
logical indirection in the code.

4e348fa803 rustdoc: Stop treating Self as a generic in search index

664b3ffbe9 rustdoc: Create SelfTy to replace Generic(kw::SelfUpper)
Rustdoc often has to special-case `Self` because it is, well, a special
type of generic parameter (although it also behaves as an alias in
concrete impls). Instead of spreading this special-casing throughout the
code base, create a new variant of the `clean::Type` enum that is for
`Self` types.

This is a refactoring that has almost no impact on rustdoc's behavior,
except that `&Self`, `(Self,)`, `&[Self]`, and other similar occurrences
of `Self` no longer link to the wrapping type (reference primitive,
tuple primitive, etc.) as regular generics do. I felt this made more
sense since users would expect `Self` to link to the containing trait or
aliased type (though those are usually expanded), not the primitive that
is wrapping it. For an example of the change, see the docs for
`std::alloc::Allocator::by_ref`.

249d686c70 rustdoc: Rename SelfTy to ReceiverTy
`SelfTy` makes it sound like it is literally the `Self` type, whereas in
fact it may be `&Self` or other types. Plus, I want to use the name
`SelfTy` for a new variant of `clean::Type`. Having both causes
resolution conflicts or at least confusion.

f3661dce09 rustdoc: word wrap CamelCase in the item list table
This is an alternative to ee6459d652.
That is, it fixes the issue that affects the very long type names
in https://docs.rs/async-stripe/0.31.0/stripe/index.html#structs.

This is, necessarily, a pile of nasty heuristics.
We need to balance a few issues:

- Sometimes, there's no real word break.
  For example, `BTreeMap` should be `BTree<wbr>Map`,
  not `B<wbr>Tree<wbr>Map`.

- Sometimes, there's a legit word break,
  but the name is tiny and the HTML overhead isn't worth it.
  For example, if we're typesetting `TyCtx`,
  writing `Ty<wbr>Ctx` would have an HTML overhead of 50%.
  Line breaking inside it makes no sense.

Stabilize `custom_code_classes_in_docs` feature

Fixes #79483.

This feature has been around for quite some time now, I think it's fine to stabilize it now.

## Summary

## What is the feature about?

In short, this PR changes two things, both related to codeblocks in doc comments in Rust documentation:

 * Allow to disable generation of `language-*` CSS classes with the `custom` attribute.
 * Add your own CSS classes to a code block so that you can use other tools to highlight them.

#### The `custom` attribute

Let's start with the new `custom` attribute: it will disable the generation of the `language-*` CSS class on the generated HTML code block. For example:

```rust
/// ```custom,c
/// int main(void) {
///     return 0;
/// }
/// ```
```

The generated HTML code block will not have `class="language-c"` because the `custom` attribute has been set. The `custom` attribute becomes especially useful with the other thing added by this feature: adding your own CSS classes.

#### Adding your own CSS classes

The second part of this feature is to allow users to add CSS classes themselves so that they can then add a JS library which will do it (like `highlight.js` or `prism.js`), allowing to support highlighting for other languages than Rust without increasing burden on rustdoc. To disable the automatic `language-*` CSS class generation, you need to use the `custom` attribute as well.

This allow users to write the following:

```rust
/// Some code block with `{class=language-c}` as the language string.
///
/// ```custom,{class=language-c}
/// int main(void) {
///     return 0;
/// }
/// ```
fn main() {}
```

This will notably produce the following HTML:

```html
<pre class="language-c">
int main(void) {
    return 0;
}</pre>
```

Instead of:

```html
<pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
<span class="ident">int</span> <span class="ident">main</span>(<span class="ident">void</span>) {
    <span class="kw">return</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
}
</pre>
```

To be noted, we could have written `{.language-c}` to achieve the same result. `.` and `class=` have the same effect.

One last syntax point: content between parens (`(like this)`) is now considered as comment and is not taken into account at all.

In addition to this, I added an `unknown` field into `LangString` (the parsed code block "attribute") because of cases like this:

```rust
/// ```custom,class:language-c
/// main;
/// ```
pub fn foo() {}
```

Without this `unknown` field, it would generate in the DOM: `<pre class="language-class:language-c language-c">`, which is quite bad. So instead, it now stores all unknown tags into the `unknown` field and use the first one as "language". So in this case, since there is no unknown tag, it'll simply generate `<pre class="language-c">`. I added tests to cover this.

EDIT(camelid): This description is out-of-date. Using `custom,class:language-c` will generate the output `<pre class="language-class:language-c">` as would be expected; it treats `class:language-c` as just the name of a language (similar to the langstring `c` or `js` or what have you) since it does not use the designed class syntax.

Finally, I added a parser for the codeblock attributes to make it much easier to maintain. It'll be pretty easy to extend.

As to why this syntax for adding attributes was picked: it's [Pandoc's syntax](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fenced_code_attributes). Even if it seems clunkier in some cases, it's extensible, and most third-party Markdown renderers are smart enough to ignore Pandoc's brace-delimited attributes (from [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110800#issuecomment-1522044456)).

Rollup merge of #125635 - fmease:mv-type-binding-assoc-item-constraint, r=compiler-errors
Rename HIR `TypeBinding` to `AssocItemConstraint` and related cleanup

Rename `hir::TypeBinding` and `ast::AssocConstraint` to `AssocItemConstraint` and update all items and locals using the old terminology.

Motivation: The terminology *type binding* is extremely outdated. "Type bindings" not only include constraints on associated *types* but also on associated *constants* (feature `associated_const_equality`) and on RPITITs of associated *functions* (feature `return_type_notation`). Hence the word *item* in the new name. Furthermore, the word *binding* commonly refers to a mapping from a binder/identifier to a "value" for some definition of "value". Its use in "type binding" made sense when equality constraints (e.g., `AssocTy = Ty`) were the only kind of associated item constraint. Nowadays however, we also have *associated type bounds* (e.g., `AssocTy: Bound`) for which the term *binding* doesn't make sense.

---

Old terminology (HIR, rustdoc):

```
`TypeBinding`: (associated) type binding
├── `Constraint`: associated type bound
└── `Equality`: (associated) equality constraint (?)
    ├── `Ty`: (associated) type binding
    └── `Const`: associated const equality (constraint)
```

Old terminology (AST, abbrev.):

```
`AssocConstraint`
├── `Bound`
└── `Equality`

New terminology (AST, HIR, rustdoc):

```
`AssocItemConstraint`: associated item constraint
├── `Bound`: associated type bound
└── `Equality`: associated item equality constraint OR associated item binding (for short)
    ├── `Ty`: associated type equality constraint OR associated type binding (for short)
    └── `Const`: associated const equality constraint OR associated const binding (for short)

a34c26e7ec Make body_owned_by return the body directly.
Almost all callers want this anyway, and now we can use it to also return fed bodies

699d28f968 rustdoc: Show "const" for const-unstable if also overall unstable
If a const function is unstable overall (and thus, in all circumstances
I know of, also const-unstable), we should show the option to use it as
const. You need to enable a feature to use the function at all anyway.

If the function is stabilized without also being const-stabilized, then
we do not show the const keyword and instead show "const: unstable" in
the version info.

fa7a3f9049 rustdoc: Elide const-unstable if also unstable overall
It's confusing because if a function is unstable overall, there's no
need to highlight the constness is also unstable. Technically, these
attributes (overall stability and const-stability) are separate, but in
practice, we don't even show the const-unstable's feature flag (it's
normally the same as the overall function).
