clarify wording on args@ default handling (#8596)
* clarify wording on args@ default handling

Most importantly use shorter sentences and emphasize the key point that defaults aren't taken into account

Nix Reference Manual: keep nix expressions uptodate with nixpkgs (#8703) 2023-07-16 09:25:11 +00:00

d8bfeda164 document identifier syntax for attribute sets
it's more likely for readers to find it right there.

this also slightly rewords examples to make them stand out better.
in the long run there probably needs to be a dedicated section on formal syntax, and better highlighting of examples.

499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently
