This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful). Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this part of the documentation!

Built-in Functions
This section lists the functions built into the Nix expression
evaluator. (The built-in function derivation is discussed above.)
Some built-ins, such as derivation, are always in scope of every Nix
expression; you can just access them right away. But to prevent
polluting the namespace too much, most built-ins are not in
scope. Instead, you can access them through the builtins built-in
value, which is a set that contains all built-in functions and values.
For instance, derivation is also available as builtins.derivation.
derivation attrs;builtins.derivation attrsderivation in described in its own section.
