Revert "Add test to avoid non linked URLs."

This reverts commit bb4981c8af29f961412a7f7194382554d0bff357.
This branch was so old, the test was already part of another file		 15:47
lizmat i just spotted the text at docs.raku.org/syntax/BUILD 16:27
I think the text of that should be completely rewritten to something that mentions that it is run *before* any attribute initialization, as opposed to TWEAK that runs *after* attribute initializations 16:29
lizmat is writing a blog post about BUILD / TWEAK at the moment, so maybe that can also serve as inspiration for a rewrite 16:30

arkiuat what is the difference between =item1 and =item tags in rakudoc? are they essentially synonymous? I understand that =item2, =item3 etc add levels of indentation for sublists (as in an outline-type structure) 16:35
lizmat++ I've been wanting a better explanation of BUILD and TWEAK for a while 16:37
lizmat arkiuat: working on it... maybe finished later today, otherwise tomorrow
arkiuat It seems as the doc when I first started reading it all had been written when only BUILD existed, and then was very sparsely edited after TWEAK was added. I got the impression for my purposes that TWEAK would be more suitable than BUILD for my purposes 95% of the time, but at the time it was difficult to figure that out from the docs 16:38
s/as/as if/
lizmat yeah, TWEAK should be the first choice, and BUILD only if really necessary
arkiuat that's what I eventually concluded. But as of maybe a year ago the docs didn't really make that clear, and I don't think that part has been updated much since then 16:39
lizmat you would only need BUILD if it needs to provide a default for other attributes
arkiuat thank you for taking this on
lizmat well, all of these blog posts dev.to/lizmat/series/35190 are the result of the first resolutions meeting, really 16:40
and now getting to TWEAK / BUILD :-)
arkiuat right, I remember. I've really been enjoying this series of blog posts
lizmat thank you :-)
arkiuat oh right, they're both all-caps! 16:41
so i'm guessing that =item and =item1 mean essentially the same thing, but that =item1 is more idiomatic when used in combination with =item2 etc and =item is more idiomatic in a flat one-level list. But I have no idea where to look this up: there are a lot of old rakudoc docs lying around and I don't know what's authoritative 16:43
lizmat in rakudoc =item and =item1 at the renderer level are *not* the same 16:44
=item basically has level "", and =item1 has level "1"
but I think all renderers so far do not make a difference between these two cases 16:45
when they render, I mean :-) 16:46
arkiuat got it, thanks 16:51
it is indeed from trying it out in some renderer or other that gave me that impression, but your explanation makes sense

[Coke] (oops. collapsed that wip commit)
correct me if I'm wrong, but the easiest "fix" to those failures is to take X<|a,b;c,d> and replace it with X<|a,b>X<|c,d> 17:16
Geth doc: arkiuat++ created pull request #4768:
more detail for variable declarators and scope		 17:18
[Coke] arkiuat: some test failures, FYI 17:22
arkiuat [Coke] right, I probably need a =begin code, maybe with a :skip-test 17:23
there's a warning about unimplemented ...
but this is still draft 17:24
also an instance of "run-time" and one trailing whitespace, fixing those now 17:37

arkiuat [Coke], thanks. Done. 18:35
[Coke] it really didn't like the stub in the interior class definition.
er, more specifically on my previous one, X<a|b,c;d,e> should be X<a|b,c>X<a|d,e> ? 18:38
arkiuat I should be paying attention because I self-assigned a couple of "add this thing to the index" issues so I could learn how to do it 18:46

[Coke] github.com/raku/doc-website/issues/139 - any thoughts on using a CDN for js/css? I think the answer has moved from "hell yes" to "hell no" in the last decade. 18:57
lizmat as long as the js / css has a valid expiration / modified header, it should be ok after the initial load? 19:04
etag: "dfx8cv2hbyf41t2-gzip" 19:09

looks ok to me
coleman add a hash and a CDN is fine (what liz said). browsers will check it 19:28

[Coke] "is fine". is it preferred? 19:48
the ticket is asking us to move to CDN. if either way is fine, not worth it.
We can do the same header setup for JSS/CSS served from our site. 19:49
nemokosch is the X markup that creates the index entries? 19:50
[Coke] (index) yeS: docs.raku.org/language/pod#Indexing_terms 19:57
... not that you can read that section due to the rendering bug. :( 19:59
